ALBUM REVIEW: "HEARTBREAK HIGHWAY" BY CANNONS (8/10)

Columbia Records

Producers: Cannons and Jason Evigan

Neon highways and cotton candy fever dreams are the bread and butter of this rising electropop outfit. The theme continues with their fourth full-length recording, on which the quirky songsmiths stun listeners and radio programmers alike, lead single “Loving You” topping alternative radio and quickening pulses. Although the album’s subject matter never strays from matters of love, this quality suits Heartbeat Highway––Cannons’ thumping-yet-ethereal arrangements and the rollercoaster ride of romance both trigger a similar rush of endorphins.
