DeLaurentis' band is Steal the Prize, and he is based in Lynchburg, Virginia. He's also a lifer when it comes to making music, having started out way back in middle school. The songs on the album have a distinctively singer/songwriter-ly vibe. For instance, "Whatever Side of Me" swings to a bit of a jazz groove, while "Mind All Mine" is infused with sweetness.

In some cases, this music has a bit of a chamber pop feel. DeLaurentis seems to have been in a quiet mood when he created these songs. The album's overall sound hearkens back to the gentler days of the 70s singer/songwriter movement. Only DeLaurentis tends to choose major key melodies for his songs. No Neil Young, James Taylor or Joni Mitchell downer music here.
