Forging influences from folk and punk to jazz and Broadway musicals with pop-leaning melodic sensibilities, Shawn Mullins crafts memorable, affecting tunes that cross many genres on his all new album, My Stupid Heart. Throughout the record, the Grammy nominated, platinum selling artist, deftly balances songs of suffering - from the title tune and "Go and Fall," to the powerful, yet subtle social commentary of "Ferguson" - with songs such as "Roll on By," which strikes an upbeat note of hope.
