Album Notes & Community Reviews
Transitioning gracefully away from his acoustic social media roots, 'Illuminate' showcases the Canadian songwriter embracing a much more polished, blues-inflected pop-rock sound. Guided largely by John Mayer's distinct guitar-pop influence, the record fully cemented the young artist's status as a formidable mainstream arena act.
