So,what caught my attention from this band was not only that it was Paul Wright's side project,but that the seemed to be the only Christian reggae band that there is (I may be wrong though). Also,I saw that they were playing a song from them on my radio station,Air 1. So here is the review.It is an EP,so it only has 5 tracks,the typical number of tracks on a physical ep. Another thing about the album is that it is a collection of songs fit for summer and love (hence the title). The first track is a nice relaxing song called "Sweet Love" and is talking about how people need love in their lives. The next track,"Baby Come Back" is a track about a broken relationship and basically telling the person to come back. "Taking Over Me" is their new single on Air 1 that has a story behind it. It is also available for free download and you can read the story at

The last track,"Summertime In The City" ,well,it's pretty self-explanatory from the title. First time I've ever listened to this kind of music,but I liked it .
Album Highlights:Taking Over Me, Sweet Love, Burrito Boy
Rating:7.5/10 A great album for summer that might not be so great other than in summer,but otherwise, it's an overall good album.
