By Claire DeRoin ~ With a vibe reminiscent of their previous albums but with a newfound energy, Train has found the key to remaining current. The upcoming album, \u201cCalifornia 37,\u201d will be released April 17.<\/p>\n A track from the upcoming album, \u201cDrive By,\u201d was released on the band\u2019s Facebook page on January 8. The song weaves a tale of a man suddenly finding himself in an unexpected relationship with a woman. The man leaves to get a grip on the situation, but promises to return to her in the end. It is the stuff of the past Train hits: romance, catchy lyrics, and a presumably happy ending.<\/p>\n Train\u2019s fifth album, \u201cSave Me, San Francisco,\u201d was released in 2009. It was a throwback to the band\u2019s hometown, where they formed in 1994. Singles from the album included chart-topping hit \u201cHey, Soul Sister,\u201d as well as \u201cIf It\u2019s Love\u201d and \u201cMarry Me.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike the pop-rock songs from \u201cSave Me, San Francisco,\u201d \u201cDrive By\u201d has a darker, fuller sound that suggests maturity. \u201cDrive By\u201d has rhythms suggestive of a light Spanish flare, thanks to staccato guitar chords throughout the verses and expressive percussion throughout the chorus.<\/p>\n Lead singer Pat Monahan returns to his semi-spoken tongue twisters like \u201cIf It\u2019s Love\u201d in \u201cDrive By,\u201d spitting out syllables and making it sound effortless.<\/p>\n By keeping what fans love and adapting to the ever-evolving musical styles, Train\u2019s upcoming album is sure to be a hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Claire DeRoin ~ Some things never get old.
