"Eggtones 4 Directions" is the musical and conceptual culmination of the "Eggtones" series and it is filled to the brim with beauty, vulnerability, heart and soul. It represents the full spectrum of Bernard's world as a recording artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. The poetry, the hooks, the production and the conversation between collaborators come together to create Seth's most mature and brilliant album so far. There's never been anything like it and at the same time it feels classic and familiar, more rewarding with each listen. Get into it.
