Focus track is Watching Love Leave.

"Well In Your World" and "Watching Love Leave" are my favorites, but "Watching Love Leave" should be the next single. There's always something about their ballads, that's where they shine the most for me.
On that note, I still wish "Strangers" would've been a single.

They still desperately need to try something by them at country radio again stat. "Every Night Every Morning" is begging to be a smash, too. It's done very well on streaming thanks to its high-profile playlisting, so I've been hoping it would get an adds date before too long, but still nothing unfortunately.

"Well in Your World" is my early standout from the new songs. I'm liking this set a bit more than Vol. 1 already after a couple listens.

"Spring Cleaning" is growing on me. The Marie Condo line is a clever rhyme. It sounds a lot like Miranda Lambert's "Baggage Claim" and makes me feel like she would've delivered the song a bit better, but it has gotten better with repeated listens.

Like I’ve said before and I’ll repeat again, their label doesn’t know what to do with them. There is absolutely no reason they shouldn’t have a single currently at radio.

Missed it, but apparently they put out a video for "Spring Cleaning" a few weeks back:

Not only specific to this EP, but they slowly changing their styles to faceless contemporary country (with a hint of adult contemporary) is a disappointing career development. Their youthful vocals just cannot sell it, they didn't start their careers with ballads and I was not a fan of their ballads to begin with. It's the unique playful but not silly songs like Girl In A Country Song or Shut Up And Fish that makes them stand out from the crowd. Of course when we have these types of songs now, they would be overproduced as hell.

Just my two cents.

"Every Night Every Morning" gets a music video:



Still holding out hope this goes to country radio *fingers crossed*

Another music video!



Half the EP now has videos, lol.
