A fitting title for the band, indeed the group have blossomed with their sounds. A cleaner album, in which I listen to the album in full without skipping any songs. Each song transitions so lovely to the next track. When a band can accomplished that, it\u2019s quite something.<\/p>\n<p>The return of Milky Chance happened a few months back with the release of their single \u201cCocoon.\u201d I listened to this song over and over again. And still do. Next was the release of \u201cDoing Good\u201d which had me wanting more.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and they delivered. My favourite tracks off the album are: \u201cEgo,\u201d \u201cStay\u201d and \u201cBad Things.\u201d Be sure to check out the deluxe edition, however, as there are acoustic renditions of select songs.<\/p>\n<h6>Getting through to you\/Is what I&#8217;m aiming for<br \/>\nWon&#8217;t you hear me now\/ Like you&#8217;ve done before<\/h6>\n<p>I think really what works with this album is the electronic reggae sounds. It\u2019s refreshing for a band to bring it back to good beats, guitar riffs that stick with you, and powerful lyrics that have you nodding your head.<\/p>\n<p>Milky Chance have two shows in August at the Danforth Music Hall. If you like what you\u2019re hearing, best to buy some tickets fool.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1336\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2017\/03\/21\/refreshing-album-milky-chance-blossom\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1336\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2017\/03\/21\/refreshing-album-milky-chance-blossom\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/vchiasson.com\/index.php\/2017\/03\/21\/refreshing-album-milky-chance-blossom\/?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milky Chance have grown and it would seem, they have become more of their own with the release of their second album Blossom.
