"Take Me Home" is a massive and very attractive track. Musically the song is empowering and cool. Lyrically this artist is impressive and very soulful with his words. Overall this is a high quality track and needs radio play ASAP. The rhythm is smooth and refreshing. - ReverbNation
"Only You" is a really solid, nice, hip, rock song. This song is really something I can groove to. I find that the vocals are really warm and varied. The instruments are extremely exciting. I also find that this tune is quite powerful. I really like this type of traditional mixed with modern rock music. I find the melodies very creative.” - ReverbNation

“Rock song with a pop twist, the artists combines hard spoken vocals with a soft rock instrumental beats. The combination of the two makes this song very catchy”
“Wow, the bass at the beginning is really great, nice treble-y tone to it. This song right away is hitting me with a very 90's vibe. The singer sounds a lot like that standard 90's Pearl Jam or Stone Temple Pilots grunge archetype, very cool. The groove of the song is very driving but remains slow and steady. I like how the guitar riffs build on top of each other during the verses. This is a really classic sounding song, and I'd definitely see this band live.”
“That is what I call a good rhythm. The drums are so beautifully clean and purely shaped. The simple bass line sounds amazing to me as well. The vocal is rich, warm and edgy, he has interesting and attractive vocal tone. He will be loved by many because he is expressive and charming. The lyrics are beautiful, original and meaningful. Overall, this song sounded sweet and emotional to me. It was very pleasant to listen to and tasteful. Delightful music performance that I would definitely love to hear again.”
“I really enjoyed this song right form the start. I liked the metal and rock influences in this song. It reminded me of the 90s and that is always cool. This song will experience commercial success and I look forward to hearing it again.”
“Your lyrics sound thoughtful and heartwarming. You have a unique way of writing you music. Usually, you do not hear men singing these kinds of songs. But do not take that as a bad thing because you have a very unique way of making your music. Your sound is really good. I think that your music will be very popular and you have a very good chance at getting on the top of the music list with your unique but alluring way of music. And your vocals sound awesome.”

“The lyrics really, really good. The tempo was just right, and the singer was amazing! This is a song I would definitely recommend to my friends. It fits in well with today's alternative rock. If this was able to buy on iTunes, I would definitely buy it.”
