“With a sound that leans all the way back to the 70s, and lyrics that work well (despite often seeming random until the next line or two,) I found myself captivated through several listens.
There is something unique and strange and alluring here that is very hard to pin down, but ‘The Sun Is Gonna Shine On You’ is the kind of song that you can listen to over and over again and never get bored.”
“Irish band, In Their Thousands offers a vocal delivery that slices like a surgeon’s scalpel from that first high hard note, but the deepest cut (sorry Sheryl Crow) on this one comes with the writing.

’Sit and Breathe’ is just such a song.”

Party time has arrived!”

The lyrics and delivery are capable of taking you there all by themselves, so sit back, listen up, and enjoy the ride.”
“The melody did the heavy lifting here by connecting me to the single emotionally before the lyrics fully soaked in.
A well-crafted song that gets better and deeper ingrained in my psyche with each listen.”

“Instrumentals face the uphill battle of stirring emotion without words. Steve James has done exactly that with ‘Fall For You.’
While the title makes it clear what the song is about, it is through the melody that we feel the racing of hearts, the fear, the insecurity, and the unabashed joy that falling in love brings to us. ”

“The husky timbre to the vocals is unique enough to make you pay attention, and once Chloe Tang captures that, she has you, because you will believe every word she sings.
Unlike the subject of the lyrics, this single is worth the ‘Hype.’”
