If you like music that is driven by vocal harmonies, this just one might just be the ticket for you. The harmonies are clear and the voices of the group mesh smoothly. And for a debut album by a young group, that is indeed impressive. Stars is a nice showcase for their vocal strengths. Bring Him Home continues along this vein with a different kind of vocal arrangement.
Come What May is a song of determination and drive. It can either be interpreted as a love song or as something motivational. With You, however, takes a bit of time to grow on you, if it does so at all.
It can be skipped. Let it Go, however, has a really nice chorus, which is pretty much the best thing about this song – their voices as one on the chorus provide for an uplifting feeling. Anthem and Secrets are particularly moving tracks and would no doubt do down well with the group’s female fanbase. Somewhere is a decent take of a West Side Story number while All Of Me is sung a capella. Over The Rainbow has them deliver a respectfully good take of the timeless classic from Wizard Of Oz. With their harmonies being tight and their unison is spot-on, this looks like a promising vocal group indeed.
