Data Insight

This is the only album where anyone from outside the band writes. Felice takes a credit on the title track and on "Angela", the two songs he shaped most as producer. Pekarek writes for the first and only time here, on "Gale Song" and "My Eyes", right before she leaves.

Cleopatra came out in April 2016 with Simone Felice producing, and debuted at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. It is the last Lumineers album with Neyla Pekarek, who left in October 2018.
