Jaymes Reunion is a four - piece pop/rock band from California. They have been scheduled to release their debut album for a while. It was supposed to be a full length album, but for now, they will just release an EP to get us ready. The EP starts off with the single "Fine" that has had lots of air time on Air 1 Radio. It is a nice pop tune that states "you've never really loved until you watched it fall apart, you never really lived until you felt like you've been dying, you never really stood until the wait has pushed you over, you're picking up the pieces just to find you're doing just fine". "Let It Shine" is another good song the was also a single. "If You Wanna Cry (Acoustic)" is a song that really just uses piano, and barely any, if not any, acoustic guitar. Two more acoustic songs follow. "More Than A Day (Acoustic)" is another nice acoustic song that is a great song to follow "If You Wanna Cry". They flow perfectly together. The next song is an acoustic version of "Fine" that features an acoustic guitar rhythm that doesn't seem like the rhythm of the original, but is still nice. "I Want You Back" is a catchy song and features nice keyboards and guitars. This is a very successful debut for Jaymes Reunion and leaves me wanting to hear more from this band. The album is specially priced at $5 as part of the Now Hear This! artist campaign supporting new music at cheap prices.

Album Highlights: Fine, Let It Shine, I Want You Back

Rating: 8/10 A nice debut album from Jaymes Reunion. Look for their debut full length album soon!
