The album ‘MUSE’ comprises seven tracks: ‘Rebirth,’ ‘Interlude,’ ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,’ ‘Slow Dance,’ ‘Be Mine,’ ‘Who,’ and ‘Closer Than This.’ The track ‘Smeraldo Garden Marching Band,’ previously released as a prelude, has already topped the U.S. Digital Song Sales Chart. Shortly after its release, both the album and the track ‘Who’ surged to the top of iTunes charts in numerous countries.
