Hey, Soul Sister – Check Out Train’s Bulletproof Picasso

I participated in the Train Bulletproof Picasso album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided a free album to review but all opinions are my own.

Anytime I’m provided with the opportunity to review an album, I almost always accept it. It’s hard to say no to great tunes, especially when it’s a group like Train.

Train is a three-time Grammy winning band out of San Francisco and even if you think you haven’t heard of them, it’s likely that a few of their lyrics are floating around in your head. “Hey, Soul Sister”, “Drops of Jupiter”, and “Calling All Angels” are a few of the songs they’re most known for (and happen to be a few of my own personal favorites).

Their newest release – Bulletproof Picasso – will release on September 16th.  It’s already available for pre-order on Amazon and iTunes and if you’re a Train fan, you’ll definitely want to get your order in now.

I’ve been listening to the album for about a week now, and I’ve definitely chose a few top picks.  “Don’t Grow Up So Fast” is on that list; as a Mom who doesn’t want her daughter growing up too fast, either, I can really relate.  The album’s namesake, Bulletproof Picasso, is also on my list.  I just really like the overall sound of the song.

You may have already heard “Angel in Blue Jeans” as it’s the album’s first single and was released a short while ago.  It climbed to the Top 40 in under a month!  “Wonder What You’re Doing for the Rest of Your Life” is a fun song that’s really catchy, and I expect it to do really well, also.
