Review

LZ7, an EDM pop act hailing from London and Manchester, England, have released their new album 'These Are Better Days', following on from their successful 2016 release 'Home'. The new 11-track album features guest appearances from Ad-apt, Silento, S.O, Daniel Eduardo and Keelie Walker, among others.

From the start, LZ7 has kept a relevance and honesty about their music which comes from a heart that sees the best in young people. The band draw on experiences from their own lives which gives the listener a deeper perspective of where they come from, what they are all about, and where they are...

From the start, LZ7 has kept a relevance and honesty about their music which comes from a heart that sees the best in young people. The band draw on experiences from their own lives which gives the listener a deeper perspective of where they come from, what they are all about, and where they are heading with their music.

LZ7 is on a quest to perpetuate music that bypasses the intellect and speaks straight to the soul. With their infectious melodies, huge drops and back to back anthems, LZ7 knows how to rock a crowd.

If you have never seen LZ7 live, please make an effort to check them out. They have the music and style and sound to turn any venue into a great live experience for the fans. And what has always been wonderful is that they have albums that bring that live sound to life in your headphones. This album is no different.

'These Are Better Days' is, as always with LZ7, a positive, upbeat, edgy and everything else in between kind of album. It is honest and real but also very much a current sound so everybody can get into the songs.

For me 'Give My All' is a stunning and powerful fun song that has some great vocals. 'G.O.A.T' is an edgy track that is well constructed and put together. The album has two great remixes near the end of the album of the opening track 'Legends'. I actually really liked the two different remix versions, both very different, but both great.

'Giant Killer' is the most honest and personal story of front man Lindz West and tells the story of how his little boy found his forever family. 'I C Love' is the journey of Lindz's second little chosen one that beat the hardest start in life. She is a survivor and Dan Eduardo’s second verse sums up that story beautifully.

The album in the main has a summer up-beat sound happening. It's an album you wouldn't mind sharing with friends. It could be an album your friends might need to hear with all its positive messages oozing out of the lyrics. LZ7 are a great live band but also they make some great current sounding songs that preach a message. Don't miss this zinger of an album.
