Jul 30, 2014New Eyes is a solid debut from a promising newcomer in house music, featuring mostly agreeable tracks (Rather Be and Heart on Fire are probably the best on the album), though the classical-cum-electronic sounds get boring after a while and the songs are hard to differentiate.

Oct 29, 2014The two big singles (Rather Be and Extraordinary) are standouts but the album is left down by video game sounds in place of what is promised, weak autotuned singers and silly lyrics.

Jun 10, 2014It's not all bad, and sometimes the reverse is true, with the strings the best thing about the track; the opening figure from 'A+E' is very pretty and the violin rising up in 'Cologne' is melodious and elegant, but they both give way to more of the electro-flotsam.

Jun 5, 2014After an ‘Our Version of Events’-worthy build, it’s crying out for something slightly off-kilter to douse the saccharine overload, but instead shoots for a bounding chorus of ‘Rather Be’-proportions, which misses in favour of something that can only be described as 90s dance clunk.

Jun 3, 2014New Eyes remains such a small, subtle, and soft record that by the end, it doesn't feel very daring or different.
