Fleeing into Paris, he tries to regroup, searching for new appearances and a sense of self.

As tweets and articles about the bunch blow upon the world wide web, Hot Sugar's road trip presses onward, revealing much more exotic layers of the man and his own music. Flash and fun, this lyrical travel offers a peek into a modern artist's creative procedure to audiences.
