The current EP (5) songs, "Loves Not Coming Back" is a story of Love Lost and the ability to recover. Tunes Like "The Midnight Hour", "Loves Not Coming Back" and "Find Some Loose Some" speak of love resolved. "We Used To Be Cool" of comradery dissolved, and "When He Calls Us Home" of the loss of a loved one. A little Soul, R&B and a hint of Gospel with that old school flavor.
