Sounds Like: Silence E.P1. Lilly2. Back Home3. The English Way4. Colours"Colours" stood out for me from the rest of your material; a great example of your mastery of the genre and especially of your singer's great ability. A track that shows its influences, but retains enough individuality to claim a voice all of its own. Great material. - Richard Hughes, Matchbox Recordings
