Summer Tour 3, Gone Wallace’s ninth independent project, is the third and final installment of the Summer Tour series. This four-track effort provides the perfect conclusion to this summer-long trilogy.
Paradise sets the mood with a sultry melody and slick wordplay. Blue Magic reassures listeners that there is a silver lining to Gone’s hiatus as well as to the departure of summer. Seaside is the last hoorah of an expiring season of celebration and Drop Off Point (Wait) propels listeners back to reality with the reminder that the vacation is over, that there is work to be done and that there are changes that still need to be made. As Gone announces his indefinite hiatus from releasing music, Summer Tour 3 serves his temporary swan song. With inspiring production from Mark Murille, Blue Tyler, Lasfeld, and Evan Turner, Gone creates a distraction from one of the most depressing times of the year, summer’s climax.
