Bridges - with an epic guitar intro, this song definitely captivated me from the beginning. Even the instrumental in the middle of the song is a treat for any listener.
Since We Last Spoke - I had the chance to check this track out recently, and my views haven’t changed. It’s still a really awesome song that has a brilliant groove about it. You can check out my review on this song here.
Forty Five - This track is slower than the others, but it’s still captivating and has real emotion behind it. This is definitely a song most people could sing along to.
Genius - This is another sweet track! Genius closes off the EP, and just makes you want more. It feels as if the guitar is trying to trigger something inside of you and bring you out into the world, meanwhile Nicole's voice talks directly to your soul.
All I can say after listening to this EP is I definitely want to hear more - this is a perfect album with an excellent mix of instruments complete with Nicole's outstanding voice. It's an excellent choice for a perfect night out - so be sure to check them out when they come and visit your town.
