Themes on the album include; Women who bring up kids own their own on the lead single track ‘Phenomenal’, losing people you love way too soon on a track called ‘Rewind’, world insecurities on ‘Heavier Than Rock n Roll’, and love being your drug of choice on The ‘Pill’.

Although these subjects are on the dark-side of the spectrum the lyrics bring you back to the light.

The album really is one which will sit well on your playlist if you are in need of something real and uplifting in an age of constant sorrow.
