G-Powered have been making waves in the Euro dance scene over the past few years. This album sees them attempting to widen their audience venturing from their native Finnish language to record their first album in English. The duo comprises of producer Kimmo Korpela and singer Miia Rautkoski. Whilst this is their debut English language album they have previously released two albums in Finnish and certainly have the sound of a group who have refined their art and know how to produce great tunes. The production is excellent with each track having a great variety of instrumentation and beat whilst maintaining an almost euphoric atmosphere. The powerful, soaring vocals of Miia fit perfectly alongside the production and despite singing in a non-native language the lyrics are very clear. The majority of this album is high tempo pumping dance beats but there are some moments where the tempo is brought down a bit like on the on closer "This Day". The strength of G-Powered has always been in the atmosphere created by their music and with the added bonus of English lyrics this pop trance set sounds like it could connect with international clubland.
