His second release strayed from the intimate quality of Swimming After Dark and featured full-band arrangements, including an enigmatic banjo solo during the opening number.

Billboard Magazine gave Freedman a full page profile, dubbing the young pianist "a star-in-waiting.

"In a husky voice similar to Marc Cohn's, he croons childhood memories and hopes of true love while the arpeggios ripple.

Collaborations appeared for the first time including the controversial "Soldiers of Christ" by "I Kissed a Girl"'s Jill Sobule (who also sings on the track).

A bonus track of The Cranberries' "Zombie", recorded on an old church organ in Charleston, SC, also appeared on the cover album.

"Zombie" was subsequently released as a single in 2009,[8] and featured in the 2016 finale of the popular Italian talent show, Amici di Maria De Filippi.

The album was a collection of deeply personal songs including the final track "Stay", which bared Freedman's religious side for the first time.

Between 2011 and 2014, Freedman uploaded home video performances to his YouTube channel in order to maintain a connection to his fanbase.
