Hope for the Hopeless
''Hope for the Hopeless'' is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Brett Dennen. It was released on October 21, 2008, following Dennen's tour of Australia. The Nigerian Afro-beat musician Femi Kuti appears on the album's first single, "Make You Crazy".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Rolling Stone )〕 The album peaked at number 41 on the ''Billboard'' 200 album chart, and number 4 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart.
Referring to "Make You Crazy", Dennen told ''Rolling Stone'': "I made the song catchy but it's about all the injustice in the world."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Songfacts )〕 That song has a music video starring the American singer Mandy Moore. "Heaven" was the second single released from this album and Dennen decided to sell it also on iTunes. Natalie Merchant, the former leading singer of 10,000 Maniacs rock band, appears on this single.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=''Billboard'' )〕
