Review:

This is the debut release from a new pop/rock band
from France. They describe their sound as between the Cranberries
and Evanescence, but I can also hear bits of The Cars, Blondie,
The Corrs, the Bangles, Jellyfish, Within Temptation, all
sorts. In fact every song sounds incredibly familiar, but
in a good way, and they scream radio play. ****
Rocky guitar solos stop it getting too poppy, and the
female/male vocals of Deby May and Jay Blake compliment
each other perfectly. Favourites include the rocky ‘Push’,
the groove of ‘No Need’, the urban ballad ‘Story Teller’,
and especially the electro vibe of ‘One of Them’ which shouts
hit single. ****
This is a very enjoyable listen, well produced, with
a modern sound, highly recommended for pop/rock fans and
anyone who enjoys good songs with catchy choruses that stay
in your head. Easily available on CD Baby. See their website
