Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a triumphant return to solo recording following a prolonged hiatus, the legendary Beach Boys architect delivers a suite of deeply melodic, highly polished pop. Heavily layered with his trademark lush vocal harmonies, 'Imagination' balances wistful introspection with the shimmering, sunny optimism that defined his golden-era compositions.
