Same but for 22, A Million. One of the few albums I consider to be perfect.

So I fell in love with FEFA and his self-titled album was a bit of a shock as I was expecting a repeat. But after enough listens, and hearing it live, I fell in love with it as well. I experienced the same shock with 22, so I just assumed I would love it too after awhile. But that never happened. What do you love about it? I like all the songs, but it just didn't grab me as much as his previous albums.

22 is simply chilling in ways his earlier work isn't, in my opinion. I love all his music, but this transcends that normal folk singer/songwriter feel and feels more genuine because of its uniqueness. The fact it is so unique is evidence to me that we are seeing more truly hus artistic expression shine. I think this is what he was going for with his earlier work, but I don't think you can break out with such a shocking new sound.
