Review
Walk the Moon really hit it out of the park with their third studio album, "Talking Is Hard," which dropped on December 2, 2014. Supercharged with the essence of indie pop, new wave, and that irresistible ’80s vibe, this album was produced by Tim Pagnotta and became a cornerstone of the band's journey. I remember blasting the lead single, "Shut Up and Dance," on repeat – you couldn’t escape its infectious hooks and groovy beats! It totally blew up, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and making top ten waves in multiple countries. How cool is that?
The 12 tracks on "Talking Is Hard" perfectly blend fun, danceable tunes with moments of introspection. Songs like "Different Colors" and "Up 2 U" showed off the band's range, while their knack for catchy beats and nostalgic, yet fresh sound was just *chefs kiss*. It’s no wonder this album was their most commercially successful one, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and going platinum. "Talking Is Hard" is seriously lit, a testament to Walk the Moon’s evolving artistry and hard-earned success! - Kelli
