Andy Grammer Explains How Billy Joel, EDM and Coffee Dates With His Daughter Inspired 'The Good Parts'

At the start of the decade, Andy Grammer was just another new name in pop music trying to become a star. He scored hits with catchy, optimistic singles “Keep Your Head Up” and “Fine By Me,” but his future was still uncertain, at least as a Top 40 hitmaker. The singer-songwriter broke through in a big way a few years back with his sophomore record, which produced the smash “Honey, I’m Good,” which perfectly blended his hook-writing abilities with country-pop tunes.

Grammer dropped his third full-length The Good Parts today, which he says perfectly describes the music included on the record. Lead single "Fresh Eyes" has already gone platinum, and he sounds like he's ready to make this his biggest project yet. The pop singer spoke with Fuse about his new collection, what’s different this time around, and how his newborn daughter is his “favorite coffee date.”

FUSE: Even though this is your third time around, are you nervous at all with The Good Parts?
Andy Grammer:
 You know, it's funny. I definitely really want people to hear it. As far as being nervous, this is the first time I've put out something that I love so much that no, I'm not nervous, but then you're always nervous about how far of a reach it's gonna have. That's kind of hard to define or know or predict, but I'm not nervous that it's great. I love it. It's the first album I've put out that I'm like, “If you don't like it, then you don't like me, because I don't know what to tell you.” I did my thing as much as I could. I wrote like 115 songs. Every single one of them, if it wasn't on the album I would be devastated. Definitely nervous that it will get as much exposure as it could, but also just in love with it.
