It was released independently on June 3, 2014, through Hidden Cow Inc, two months after the duo parted ways with their past record company, Collective Sounds.
They recorded with many artists, songwriters, and producers, including Allstar Weekend,[1]Toby Gad, Nathan Chapman,[2] Jason Reeves, John Fields,[3] and Liz Huett, a former backup singer of Taylor Swift's.
[4] They confirmed the tracks, "Bad for Me," "Release You," "Switch Hearts," "All Alright," "Look What You Started," "Karma's Coming Back for Me", and "Grave."
The duo no longer owns the songs intended for the original record, so the production style had to change to avoid legal issues.
[citation needed] The next track, "A Better Me" is a bit more poppy than "Simple Life", but still proudly broadcasts the country instruments.
Cult Noise Magazine also reviewed the album, saying it "showcased a new era for Megan & Liz," with the switch from pop to country.
[13] Fountain Pen Girl Blog gave the album a 9/10 rating, stating that "Simple Life", Karma's Coming Back for Me", and "New At This" are the highlights, while the other songs can get a bit repetitive at times.
