‘Outside the Box’ jangles into your ears with an addictive guitar line. There is a touch of country to the melody that wraps itself around some good old-fashioned folk-pop. The strumming tone of the music has your foot tapping through the verses only to have you dancing on the chorus.

The lyrics have a vibrant youth to them while offering an insightful depth into the risks you might take for someone special.
