It will be interesting to see how Paramore 2.0 turns out when they release their album in April. A-

“Maybe Someday” is Lonestar’s first single off of its upcoming studio album: Life As We Know It. While the song has shades of one of the band’s greatest hits: “Amazed,” it features Richie McDonald’s superb vocals plus strong harmonies from the quartet that will make fans excited for the upcoming release.
