Geffen / Polydor
The Boygenius member's fourth solo LP and major-label debut is a tender, affectionate one about "it's complicated" relationships.

Editors' Choice for March, 2025
AllMusic Staff Pick
- April 2, 2025
1997
On his eclectic reworking of Marvin Gaye's classic What's Going On, the saxman happily genre-hops between '70s soul (complete with wah-wah guitar), slow, and steady blues, straight-ahead jazz, and hip-hop. His most inspired moments by weave his trademark edgy alto with his lesser-known but still potent talents on EWI and flute.
