The success of <b><i>Some Mad Hope</i></b> and <b>“Come On Get Higher”</b> gave Nathanson a sense of accomplishment and confidence that allowed him to take a new approach to <b><i>Modern Love</i></b>, taking bigger risks and diving deeper into his vast array of musical influences.</span><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The writing process started by exploring songs that were more physical and groove-based, drawing from influences such as Depeche Mode, ACDC and Talking Heads. By the time the eleven songs, written and produced with his longtime collaborator <b>Mark Weinberg</b>, were completed, Nathanson was marveling at the new territory they had covered. From the “Depeche Mode groove” in <b>“Mercy (Less Drowning, More Land)”</b> to the ecstatic opening track and first single <b>“Faster,”</b> to the soaring <b>“Run,”</b> which features <b>Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush</b>, <b><i>Modern Love</i></b> is a luminous and bold departure. <br><br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p
