Search - Gavin Degraw :: Sweeter

2011 release from the platinum-selling singer, songwriter, and musician. The album finds the New York native - beloved for his blue-eyed soul vocals, freewheeling melodies, and earthy charm - experimenting with new sounds, which resulted in a potent, swaggering strut, both musically and lyrically, on sexually charged songs like the R&B-infused "Sweeter" and "Radiation." The racier moments are balanced out by more emotionally transparent songs like the vigorous "Not Over You," and the uplifting "Soldier" and "You Know Where I'm At," which convey a vulnerability while still managing to feel distinctly masculine. Gavin co-wrote the album's first single, "Not Over You" with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder (who also produced the track).
