The album’s first single, “Not Over You,” coined “a soulful majestic ballad” by Entertainment Weekly debuted most added at the Hot AC format with People Magazine declaring the “hot single” as DeGraw’s “welcome return” to the airwaves. “Not Over You” continues to climb the radio charts.
DeGraw’s highly anticipated fourth album SWEETER, which US Weekly calls “delectable,” released September 20th on RCA Records.
