This collection of five reggae inspired tunes jumps out of your speakers straight away with the song "Role Models" with a great groove and important message for young people today. You get the impression Edward Holland Junior is on a mission with this effort. The biggest tune seems to be the title track, with an interesting beat and great choir of vocals. This seems to be influenced by several gospel reggae acts mixed with some more urban sounds like the grime of Dizzie Rascal. On "God Is" you can even hear the influence of Nizlopi or Bedhuin Soundclash. It's a very easy-to-listen-to sound without being easy listening! Edward Holland Junior is a name to listen out for.
