Their album opens with “Graffiti Dreams,” which is melodically beautiful, and it instantly lures the listener in to this pleasant musical project. It is followed by the laid-back and fun “Forever, Always,” as well as “Folk-Hop Sound,” which has a liberating vibe to it and it captures the theme of the album well.
“All I Want Is You” is up-tempo with neat banjo instrumentation, and it is followed by “Take It All Back,” which is perhaps the highlight vocal on the album. “Reputation” is a tune that would fare well in their live shows, since shows their rapping side.
“Insane” is more mid-tempo and spitfire, while “Better Man” is a captivating ballad on the collection. Their CD closes with “We Own The Night” and the exhilarating “Uh-Huh, Yeah!”
