I can’t choose — this album is FIRE! Hot Summer is an amazing hit, Summer Romance might be love… and then there’s The One That Got Away.

About the album
Summer State of Mind is a full-hearted summer record, twelve songs for windows-down drives, backyard cookouts, and the long golden days you never want to end. It runs from floating-pool anthems to fireworks to the bittersweet goodbye when the season finally turns. Made for anyone who lives all year long for these months.
