Release Notes:

“When I was a kid, I was a listener,” says Clarence Greenwood, a.k.a.
Citizen Cope. “Music was something coming out of a radio or off a record,
something that made me feel these things I couldn’t explain. It was
magical to me, and I thought it was something you had to be ordained
with.”

What’s clear when you listen to Cope’s own music now, years after he sat
transfixed in front of his stereo speakers, is that he *is* ordained. Or
touched. Or blessed. Or however you want to say it: The man has the gift.

It’s never been more evident as on “Every Waking Moment,” his third album
(second release for RCA). By far his most personal recording, “Every
Waking Moment” shows Cope continuing his deep exploration of the world
that confronts all of us every day. How do we love those we care about?
How do we change a world that throws daily horrors in our faces? How do
we live with ourselves day after day? How do we capture joy?

If you’ve heard any of the work that Cope has created over the past few
years, you already know how quickly he can paint a masterpiece with the
lightest of brushstrokes. How he captures a character in just a few
words.

This is Cope’s gift: He takes snapshots of the world around him, and
turns them into universal truths. He sets them to the simplest of
melodies, and weds those in turn to the most soul-stirring grooves.
