For the first time in a decade, we decided to arrange together, write together and collaborate with various artists to create a genre-bending studio album entitled simply, "Original." Enlisting Nashville session players, Kickstarter pledges, and even a top Midwestern rapper, we hand-selected favorites; mixing an edgy, seasonal arrangement of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" with a fresh take on the Motown sounds of "I've Got a Woman." We included a tear-jerking original anthem entitled "Marching Soldiers" together with a stripped down version of fan favorite "Free at Last.”
