Song titles such as \"You Make Me Smile\" and \"Miss Fortune,\" coupled with airy, ethereal production from Truth \u0026amp; Soul's Leon Michels and Jeff Silverman mask a foreboding undercurrent in which Aloe crafts lyrics both thoughtful and thought-provoking. Nowhere is this more evident than on lead single, \"I Need a Dollar\"-commissioned by HBO as the theme music for the series How to Make It in America and screening in the UK in 2011-because ultimately, that is how to make it in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 I Need a Dollar \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Green Lights \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Hey Brother \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Miss Fortune \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Life So Hard \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Take Me Back \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Femme Fatale \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Loving You Is Killing Me \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Good Things \u003cbr\u003e1.10 You Make Me Smile \u003cbr\u003e1.11 If I \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Mama Hold My Hand \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Politician (Reprise)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Aloe Blacc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32789376532551,"sku":"26259239","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1789305.jpg?v=1747388393","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/aloe-blacc-good-things","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
