Whether it be via his celebrated studio albums, film soundtracks, or compositions for stage productions, Gonzalez has proven that nothing surpasses his ability to perfectly encapsulate a specific time, emotion, or sense of place. This has led him to become a Grammy-nominated musical juggernaut who has headlined Los Angeles's famed Hollywood Bowl, wowed audiences across the globe, and sold over a million units of his 2011 album, \u003ci\u003eHurry Up, We're Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Gonzalez, \u003ci\u003eFantasy's \u003c\/i\u003edirection and aesthetic were immediately clear. \"I wanted this record to be very impactful live,\" he says. \"The idea was to come back with something closer to the energy of Before The Dawn Heals Us.
