The upcoming album is a collection of crisp, electro-pop inspired songs. Themed around chance, the album spins out from the serendipity-marveling “Crazy Lucky” into reflective, if relatable, fare such as the vibratory, folk-inflected “Insane,” the falsetto-kissed
“One Heart Beating,” and the more sprawling “The Great Unknown.” <br>
<br>
“We made an album that was poppier and more concise songwriting,” says lead singer / songwriter Kevin Griffin. “We wanted to give our old fans something familiar, but we wanted to attract new fans.<br>
<br>
This is evident in the band’s first single “<b>Crazy Lucky</b>” hit <b>No.</b> <b>
#37</b> on the <b>Top 40 Hot AC Charts</b>. <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/03/24/song-premiere-better-than-ezra-crazy-lucky/6832363/">
