After listening to "Your cheating ways" by the Marvelettes, i  was wondering how such  a sad topic  could sound so happy. That's how the track "Rules of the game"  was born.  
The idea came up to imagine what they could have sing before, when the pain was so fresh. The concept of love being an unfair game nobody knows the rules made sense then.

The Rules of the game

I wrote this song putting myself in the shoes of someone who realise too late that what they had in their relationship was precious. What to do when the other had enough and doesn't want to try anymore. I wrote this song as a reminder that Love is precious and shouldn't be taken for granted.

Should I ?

Trouble is a celebration of LOVE and everything that it brings in somebody's life.  The power of connecting with someone in higher level and the need to spend every minute possible by their side.

Trouble

Surfing on those old-school vibes from the 60s-70s, 
"London Eye Kiss" is an upbeat song with funky guitar riffs, soul kicks, and a pop twist. 
This Song is for all the lovers that are too scared to admit that they are meant to be together! And for those around them, who just wish they finally get their act together!
