This is a lovely little sample EP which does exactly what a good EP should: it makes you want more.

It kick starts us with a lovely bouncy track called 'I'm on My Way', with varied male and female vocals backed with a patterned guitar strumming with an occasional musical chorus with a good variety of instruments to really get you tapping your feet along.

The next track, 'Hold On', is a little slower and more relaxed song which you will quickly find yourself humming or singing along with as the slightly Hawaiian sound (well that's what it reminded me of anyway) comes forward.

Another soft track, 'Roots', follows this and gives us more of the beautiful string plucking as well as some wind instruments that really help you relax into the music. You can even feel any stress of the day start to melt off you as this music plays, making it the perfect wind-down type band.

The final track of the track is 'When I Feel Free' which mixes up the relaxed style with more bouncy type we got for the first track. The lyrics of all the songs seem to be optimistic overall, giving that added blend of relaxing to the music.

A great EP, can't wait to hear more!
