Good to see one of Britain's most idiosyncratic talents back with a new release. This EP straddles several genres with a gutsy urban vibe on the title track and a bit of finger-snapping worship on "Fall On You". However, it's the reggae vibe of "Where Is The Love" which works best. The EP's great strength is Owen's earthy passionate vocals which ooze soulful conviction and its great weakness is ragged production which never really moves above demo quality.
