Claude says:Howie Day broke out of Maine in the late '90s as a one-man-band touring act, looping samples and effects pedals live, before landing on Epic and scoring a platinum hit with "Collide" from his 2003 major-label debut. "She Says" is that album's opening single, a brisk acoustic-pop number with big, open-road hooks and Day's reedy, earnest voice up front. You caught it once in mid-2012, years after the radio run cooled off — probably a stray click on the title track rather than a deep dive into the record.
