Reviews
“With 'Save Me' one of the best songs comes first on the new CD. A brilliant chorus that will probably drive everyone onto the dance floor. "
"This album is a must for lovers of synth pop or someone who just loves good music."
“The ability to write great pop songs is the icing on the cake, which is present to a large extent at EM. Every song has a refrain that sticks in your ear for days. A very good album. "
