Take It From Kongos

Egomaniac is the follow-up release to Kongos’ sophomore LP, Lunatic, which spawned the RIAA double-platinum track, “Come With Me Now.” The latest album boasts 13 new tracks such as “I Don’t Mind,” “Autocorrect” and “Look At Me.” The band appears on NBC’s “The Today Show” June 15 for a live performance of its latest single, “Take It From Me.”
