...but still a good tune. BABY I'M NO GOOD a more soulful tune,slow a bit to slow, one of the tunes i wasnt to keen on, HEAD IN THE CLOUDS is another i wasnt keen, CLOSE TO THE EDGE pretty good another love song, KILL WITH YOUR SMILE like this one has really good tune a bit different, PIECES OF HEAVEN like the way this song sounds, plus like that you can actually understand what he is singing, TURN THE LIGHT ON really enjoyed this track,good beat.

It's no wonder that they have been played and nominated for music awards all over the USA and Canada. The tracks are catchy and addictive from the off with 'Run, Run, Run, Run, Run'. One listen and you're hooked-singing along to lyrics such as "I'm gorgeously stupid, I can't remember my name…" whilst attempting... Read review
