While the music is easy and evocative to lose yourself within, there’s also plenty to unpack lyrically throughout 2007. Consider Darkest Patches, a catchy jam that seems to understand and connect with you as you navigate the darkness of modern life, but the closer you look, the more insight, the sharper the wordplay, and the more revealing the sentiments. Noah $tout does this with every track, an easy listen on the surface, but so much more depth and detail as you revisit, and that’s the gift and realness of the sound.
