White Wonderland,\u201d for a brief moment I\u2019m Second Line dancing in New Orleans to \u201cFive Hundred Thousand Dollars,\u201d and suddenly I\u2019m dancing around a fire on a beach to \u201cOui.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacoozzi is an album that really took me back a bit.\u00a0 It was definitely not what I was expecting but Jacoozzi is definitely an album for all moods.\u00a0 It can serve as a soundtrack to a pool party, a soundtrack for the beach, and most importantly a cosmic soundtrack for the mind (tools to obtain cosmic vibes not included.)\u00a0 Jacoozzi is an album that has a little bit for everyone but most importantly has everything for me.\u00a0 Jacoozzi is an album that will definitely not be overlooked this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brant Bjork &#8211;
