Allan Rayman may be from Toronto but his soul is a transplant from somewhere down south. The singer delivers his full length album which is exclusively available on his site. His voice reminds me a lot of Citizen Cope but his style covers a lot of ground, flowing with and contrasting with the production he chose. His storytelling and musical abilities have a promising future for him.

Allan also released a new video in tandem with the project.

Bryan Hahn wonders how much Hotel California influenced the title. He’s on Twitter (@notupstate).
