Canadian Beats Media Review

The six-song release begins with “Little Sunshine,” which immediately brings forth a rockin’ beat with a western flair, which is joined by Jake’s powerful vocals. The lyrics, “It wasn’t always this way, Let go my dear, you have nothing to fear,” and “Those were the days, now they’ve vanished in a haze,” and the music both possess an ominous, mysterious tone, which of course pulls you in. I found myself completely intrigued with this track, and my feet tapped to the beat throughout the entire song.
The third track, “That Glow,” is definitely a shining star of the release and where the album name was born. The song features elements of many genres, although rock and folk are at the forefront. The chorus has a poppy beat, and you can’t help but sing along with the repetitive yet entertaining, “I wanna know, I wanna know,  where did you get that glow? where did you get that glow? where did you get that glow? I wanna know, I wanna know, where did you get that glow?.”
I can’t review this release without mentioning “Unwanted Me.” This track shows a completely different side of Jake’s sound, with a punk-rock style to it. On this track, Jake shows the listener that he’s not confining himself to one style or genre and that his talents extend throughout a large scope of styles. I loved this track and would love to see it performed live.
All in all, for a debut EP, I was shocked at the quality and insane talent that is showcased. Each song on this release shows off a different side of Jake’s abilities and sound. Fans of any genre will likely find at least one song they enjoy, so be sure to give it a listen!
