“Talk About Us” showcases a deliberate attempt to capture a mainstream sound. “With Him” delves into the dramatic narrative of someone who, after being left by their lover for someone else, tragically takes their own life. “Sadboys” playfully references the genre of sad boy music, while the preceding track, “I Wish You Well,” embraces a tearful breakup song.
Closing out the album is the mesmerizing track “The Sun Guide.” It begins with delicate percussion, soft guitar riffs, and a beautiful piano melody. The bass undertone gradually joins in, accompanied by Michaels’ captivating male voice singing, “It’s easy now; it’s easy; how have I gone so long?” His vocals blend harmoniously with the instruments, inviting listeners to sway along. “The Sun Guide” serves as a perfect conclusion to this extraordinary musical journey.
