Alright, let's dive into ROLE MODEL's sophomore album "Kansas Anymore," shall we? This 13-track gem is a rollercoaster of love, loss, and homesickness that'll have you feeling all the feels. Inspired by that classic Wizard of Oz line, our guy ROLE MODEL takes us on a journey through his experience of being a fish out of water in the glitzy, crazy world of Los Angeles.
Musically, this album’s got a killer mix of folk and pop-rock vibes. Think slide guitars, banjos, and all those warm, nostalgic feels. Gems like "Deeply Still In Love" and "Superglue" are perfect showcases of his knack for catchy, emotive tunes with a touch of classic rock. And if you’re looking for a bit of collab magic, check out "So Far Gone" featuring Lizzy McAlpine—it’s got this soft, sweet, understated vibe that works like a charm.
ROLE MODEL’s lyrics strike a deep chord, reflecting on rough breakups and the struggle to find inspiration. Despite some darker moments, tracks like "Look at That Woman" and "Scumbag" bring a burst of nostalgic summer energy. "Kansas Anymore" marks a huge step in ROLE MODEL’s journey, spotlighting his growth and ability to craft an album full of emotional highs and lows. You definitely don’t want to miss this one! - Madi
