'Depths - Part II' is the second four-song EP in the double concept set from Nova Scotian singer/songwriter Tim. Independently released and produced, this time around instead of playing it safe with pop balladry Disdrelle experiments with a number of different musical genres and succeeds in raising the bar significantly. "How Deep" the energetic opener has a driving, kicking dance beat and references Psalm 139 in a reminder that we are always surrounded by the love of God wherever we go. "Changes" is a quality cut, entering R&B territory, the soulful vocals and smooth falsetto here showcasing Drisdelle as an artist of considerable talent and sounding eerily like Anthony Evans. Closer "Still Standing" is a finger-clicking slice of boyband pop balladry, its slick beat suddenly ending in a Pentecostal style jam and digging in the hymnal to sample "Standing On The Promises". An excellent release from a promising artist.
