    Matchbox Twenty will release their first full-length album in a decade this fall. The disc’s first single, “She’s So Mean,” will be out in June. Band member Paul Doucette said of the disc, “The title refers to us finding our way. We went into this record with a lot of material. Many different songs that could have taken us in many different directions. It sort of overwhelmed us for a bit. But, at a certain point, we figured it out. We figured out where North was.”

      I'm sorry but Kreayshawn sounds like a little girl and her lack of enthusiasm as she keeps chanting, "juice, cheese, bread, breakfast..." is totally unimpressive. She looks like a highschooler and sounds like one, too. Put more energy into what you're doing, show some enthusiasm or something. I'm not convinced that you are a badass. This perfprmance was just flat.
