Magazines or Novels is the second studio album by American recording artist Andy Grammer, released on August 5, 2014 through S-Curve Records. It includes the triple-platinum selling hit single 'Honey, I'm Good.' which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100. A special edition exclusive to Target stores was released in May 2015 featuring two newly recorded tracks: 'Kamikaze' and 'Amazing.'[3] A re-issued deluxe edition was released on November 20, 2015 with new artwork and included the album's third single, 'Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)'.[4]
Singles[edit]
Prior to the album's release, Grammer released a single 'Back Home' on April 8, 2014, co-written by Grammer and Ryan Met of the band AJR, who co-produced the track with Jon Levine. The album's second single, 'Honey, I'm Good.' was co-written by Grammer and Nolan Sipe and produced by Sipe, Steve Greenberg and Brian West.[5] Grammer went on the 'Siren Songs' tour with Los Angeles-based recording artist Hughie Stone Fish in September 2014.[6]
The second single 'Honey I'm Good.' was released in the US in November 2014, and eventually impacted radio in February 2015. It became his biggest single to date, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified triple-platinum by the RIAA.
In August 2015, during his run on Dancing with the Stars, Grammer released a new single 'Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah)'[7] (also written by Ryan Met from AJR) which was included on a reissued deluxe version on November 6, 2015.

Critical reception[edit]
Judah Joseph from The Huffington Post gave a positive review of the album saying 'it is in ways reminiscent of John Mayer's earlier work' and compared Grammer's voice to Gavin DeGraw and Adam Levine's. 'Magazines or Novels displays a level of consistent creativity and continued talent. [...] It surpasses the standard he set back in 2011'. Joseph concluded describing the album as 'emotionally complex collection of songs'.[8]Newsday reviewer Glenn Gamboa gave the album a C grade commenting 'it feels like a desperate attempt to manufacture another hit' while he ultimately 'ends up with cut-rate approximations of other artists (Maroon 5 and OneRepublic).'[9] James Dinh from 'SheKnows.com' analyzed the meanings of the songs and its contrasting lyrics and stated that 'Grammer sprinkles a variety of lyrical themes throughout Magazines or Novels. While he plays up his lust for women (even though he's married) on the country-pop hoedown 'Baby, I'm Good,' he switches it up and assumes the role of sweet husband on the retro-sounding 'Forever,' using his easy-breezy falsetto to sing about how long his girl takes to get ready.'

Andy Grammer is a Singer/Songwriter from Los Angeles with a bent toward soulful, R&B-infused pop. He is all about inspiring and empowering the world by communicating his truths through his music. The first male pop star in a decade since John Mayer to reach the Top 10 at Adult Pop Radio on his first two singles, Grammer has taken the music world by storm with a succession of anthemic pop hits. “The Good Parts” is his third full-length studio album.
Multi-platinum performer Andy Grammer is a gifted pop artist and songwriter with a bent toward contemporary soul and pop. A native of Los Angeles, Grammer is the son of children’s music artist Red Grammer, and grew up in New York State. He later returned to California to earn his B.A. in music industry studies from California State University, Northridge. While attending school, Grammer began performing around Los Angeles and even spent time as a street performer to help publicize himself. Higher-profile gigs followed, and Grammer eventually signed with S-Curve Records. He released his self-titled debut album in 2011. That summer, he supported both Natasha Bedingfield and Colbie Caillat on tour. Two years later, he released the EP Crazy Beautiful. In 2015 Grammer returned with his full-length sophomore album, Magazines or Novels, featuring the singles “Back Home” and “Honey, I’m Good,” the latter of which reached number nine on the Billboard charts. (It also helped him become the first male pop artist since John Mayer to reach the Top 10 at Adult Pop Radio on his first two singles.) After a 2015 stint as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, Grammer released another single, “Good to Be Alive (Hallelujah),” which became his second consecutive hit to be certified gold. Released in the summer of 2016, the single “Fresh Eyes” also performed well, reaching over 250 million streams and receiving platinum status. In 2017 Grammer delivered another single, “Give Love,” featuring LunchMoney Lewis.
