...fashioned for himself. Jason Collett’s lack of diversity has led him to create a highly forgettable and uninspiring album. There are only a few fleeting moments when “Here’s to Being Here” shows any promise, and they quickly fade away when he returns to his standard, unsuccessful formula of poorly channeling better musicians.

They chased another down a narrow mud alley and, when he slipped, beat him to death with rocks, then stole his wallet and shoes. There was nothing on the body to identify him, no one in the area knew him, and within hours he joined hundreds of corpses at mortuaries across Kenya, awaiting...
