Solo

The EP opens with a live rendition of U2's"40". This gives each member of the band a turn at lead vocals and it's got rarity value for fans. Then Michael Tait unfurls his new band (simply called Tait and featuring pal Pete Stewart on guitar) and he's off. with the rock'n'pop "Alibi". Then there's his ballad "All You Got" which has him getting a little soulful. The next two songs come from Kevin Max and it's clear from the opening chords of "The Return Of The Singer" that Kevin Max has been having a creative beanfeast in the studio. Pushing things leftfield with a solid groove and some eastern melodies his unmistakable voice soars over the surging beats and it's a winner. His ballad "Be" has a message encouraging the listener to have confidence in who they are. The EP concludes with Toby Mac's return to his hip-hop roots. The "Extreme Days" track is a rock'n'rap fusion which has already been on the movie soundtrack album of the same name. His other song "Somebody's Watching" features a vocal hook from an old Motown one hit wonder Rockwell which will bring back memories for older music fans. It's a brilliant piece of work packed with vibe and a fitting conclusion to the album.
