At first I reacted with my usual indifference when I read Mr. Lif's latest offering would be one song every few weeks leading up to the election, including a post-November 4 wrap-up song and an Inauguration Day album to boot. It wasn't so much the concept as it was the first single "Heard It Today." I hated it.

"The Sun" is a different story. To quote Ghostface, "look who's shining again." Oh my, my, my.

If you feel so inclined, you can purchase "The Sun" (the song, not the giant star) at the iTunes store.
