Tales From the Land of Milk and Honey had just gotten REAL. Even if you're perfectly happy with your life, that hook will have you looking to find some shit to reevaluate. If this one catches you on the wrong day, it's a wrap.

Hearing "Face In the Reflection" for the first time made the album feel complete to me. It served as the "ballad," but it also touched upon a subject matter that is very relatable; this shit can hit home HARD for some of our listeners. The final touches were added by Nic who layered some organ in the hooks (which actually added to the "haunting" aspect of the song) and made the drums thicker by adding some crashes, accents and just beefing them up sonically, overall. And Tamisha Waden and Carmen Rodgers teaming up on them background vocals will have you calling around to talk your problems out with a professional while a single tear rolls down your cheek. The raw emotion captured and depicted in this song is undeniably the star of the show. When I talked to Phonte about it after hearing it, we couldn't wait to hear the public response once the album was released. This is definitely one of those joints where you may have to hit that "pause" button on your player before advancing to the next selection in order to gather yourself a bit. Listen man, "Until the Dawn (Milk and Honey, Pt. 2)" HAD to close this album. We didn't want to leave folks staring into mirrors at themselves looking all sad and shit after all of this fun, uptempo music!!
