The album, released in August 2021, is a 10-track masterpiece that blends pop, rock, and country sounds to create a unique and captivating listening experience.
From the opening track "Lose It All," a catchy and upbeat song that sets the tone for the album, to the closing track "When All the Stars Have Died," a poignant and emotional ballad, The Truth takes the listener on a musical journey that is both uplifting and introspective.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Don't Settle," a duet with Pat Monahan that showcases the two singers' incredible vocal range and harmonizing abilities. The song is a powerful anthem that encourages listeners to chase their dreams and not settle for anything less than what they deserve.
