With a voice that trumpets triumph and tenacity, he literally whoops his way through opening track \u201cJust the Same\u201d and soars on anthems like \u201cSee You Like I Do,\u201d \u201cNothing Better Than Today\u201d and \u201cSomewhere in the Middle,\u201d which features a cameo from rapper Maestro Fresh-Wes. The arrangements are generally stripped down to a core combo, but even when brass and orchestra are added the focus remains on Hines\u2019 sunny-day vocals.
