    Since we last heard from Shawn Mullins on 2008’s “Honeydew”, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter and bandleader has undergone a series of transformative experiences, leading to a second coming for the veteran artist. His experiences included indoctrination into the collaborative creative process by numerous bouts of intensive co-writing, in one instance putting him atop the country charts via a key contribution to the Zac Brown Band’s “Toes”, marking his third #1 single. Further co-writing yielded nine of the eleven songs on the new album, which Mullins believes represents the strongest, most expressive writing of his distinguished career.
    The new album reaches out, boldly and magnanimously, into present-day existence – at times like these, like-minded individuals can find strength in numbers. In this sense, the process that brought the new album to life parallels its underlying theme of banding together. “Light You Up” is an ensemble album through and through, the result of creative interaction from the writing to the recording. It overflows with perfect rhymes, telling detail and underlying imitations.“I felt like I needed to get the listener’s attention with this record,” says Shawn. He can consider that a mission accomplished.
