Independent US track review - October 2009
DON’T COME EASY
A fierce powerful lead and a strong bass line introduces vocals laden with desperation that have as much strength and emotion as the instrumentals. The melody catches a unique sound picture and takes you into a state of sensuality, a built chorus sheds angst in lyrics that reach the heart and make a listener find personal meanings in every line, meanings that stay there long past the frantic electric lead guitar fades.
CRAZY HEART DONT YOU BREAK
A twangy country electric acoustic that gives the song its country feel. Playing is weaved in and out of natural words that are descriptive of a heart near broken.
FLOWERS AND TEDDYBEARS (Acoustic)
A gentle pace and subtle rhythm with expressive single note acoustic lead, picks up and drops pace while words give thought to a sad and lonely journey of coming to terms with the tragic loss of a child. Denial and disbelief are frequent emotions in the vocals that are saturated in an emotional intensity.
LIKE A MEMORY
An attention grabber with a noticeable 50's influence, shoo wap bops, use of pauses and fast rhytmatic textures glide into a collective energy of music, fresh and sweet vocals sing along in an melody that has a smooth groove underlay, a dynamic combination produces a hook chorus that you find unforgettable after only the first listen.
