    This 10-song effort will almost surely be a part of the soundtrack powering every block party, barbecue, summer shindig--and certainly toward the dance floor. [May 2015, p.98]

    New Glow isn't start-to-finish fizz. The downbeat "I See Ya" offers some contrast as an emotional album closer, with Johnson acknowledging those who may not be present but still matter. Otherwise, however, you can drop the needle pretty much anywhere else on the record and land right back in the party.

There's a flash of evolution here & there, but not enough to make the album worthwhile outside of curious fans.
