HEY, PRINCESS - One of the more popular songs on the album. Features punk influences, a subtle use of paired vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, extensive vamping, mixed acoustic and electric instrumentation, major key tonality, electric rhythm guitars, and a subtle use of strings. 10/10 rating.

This album is worth every penny. It might even be a little too inexpensive for such great-sounding, feel-good music. Every song explodes with positive energy.
