Knock has an upbeat instrumental which sticks throughout. Brooke's quirky vocal allows us listeners in to her world with an upbeat party vocal. The chorus features some sassy lyrics with a fun loving sentimental feel that I caught myself getting extremely emotional over especially as the way that every verse blends into the chorus in the best way. This fun side of Brooke is one I have absolutely adored hearing. The songwriting throughout Knock blends fantastically showcasing many different sides that Brooke has to offer.

Left You For Me starts with this soft piano instrumental complementing her vulnerability with her vocal delivery. Left Me For You allows Brooke to allow us listeners into another side of who she is as an artist thanks to the fact that she wears her heart on her sleeve. There is something so special about the chorus that is heartfelt thanks to the amount of honesty with many powerful lyrics. The second verse continues with the stage that followed that I caught myself getting emotional over the lyrics. I am so grateful to Brooke for writing and releasing this song.

Comeback Love starts with an upbeat and sassy 90's country feel something that I loved to hear thanks to the night out kind of vibe, whilst also being perfect for the Summer road trips. The catchy lyrics that are heard throughout have some proper sing along moments perfect for the those days where the windows are wide open. The short and sweet lyrics joint with the fun and fantastic Summer blend is beautiful. The instrumental break down is wonderfully timed. Comeback Love showcased another side of who Brooke is, feel like I keep repeating myself but it's so true.

Heartless has a darker sounding instrumental which instantly got me thinking as I think it will with many other listeners. The first verse opens with Brooke's soft crisp vocal at the forefront with lyrics that are wonderfully allowing for them to listen closely and appreciate the direction of the song, as well as the opportunity that comes from the chorus with the catchy lyrics - love the direction perspectives featured. The second verse of Heartless continues with the crisp vocal giving the song another side of meaning. The chorus blends wonderfully into very single verse, the attention to detail is beautiful. The final verse showcases the songs key lyrics before heading into the final chorus in a much softer tone.

Off The Ground starts with an upbeat guitar instrumental that I have to say for me brings this EP together rather nicely. The first verse sees Brooke's crisp vocal also complimented by her soft vocal tone giving the lyrics there moment to stand out, with a message within the song to be shared with us listeners. The chorus features many catchy, upbeat, and heartfelt lyrics that I caught myself listening to rather closely and really appreciating as you can hear so much vulnerability once again from Brooke. In the second verse Off The Ground continues this sense of love, and that moment when you start appreciating the little things. The bridge is simple but sweet thanks to the softer vocal and lyrics. final Off The Ground is wrapped up by the chorus which bought the song to the perfect end in my opinion. I have nothing but praise for this whole song.

-
With Amelia Spencer about to christen her daughter, Esther it wouldn't be a soap without drama during the ceremony would it? It’s the day of Amelia Spencer’s daughter, Esther’s christening who is touched by her boyfriend, Noah Dingle’s support who has been there for her during her pregnancy and now adjusting to her journey into motherhood. It’s lovely to see how much he genuinely cares and wants the best for them both. Following Lydia Dingles help in organising the christening, she is disappointed when Samson Dingle refuses to accompany her to his daughter’s christening. Chloe Harris and Amy Wyatt are confrontational around cousins Chas and Charity. However, when Amy and Chloe arrive at Esther’s christening following Chas’ invite, Charity is less than impressed. Things escalated as Charles Anderson’s begins the christening as Charity’s feud with Amy threatens to put the service in jeopardy - part of me is like yay for the drama, but the other is like why are you doing this ,Charit

EMMERDALE REVIEW - DAN SHOWED HIS VULNERABILITY

Over the past few weeks, Emmerdale viewers have seen a different side of Dan Spencer following his daughter, Amelia's social media ordeal which has allowed for a different side of the character's development to be shown. It's obvious to me and many other viewers that all Dan Spencer has ever wanted to do was protect Amelia, but the way he said some harsh things to her in Tuesday's episode (11th July) saw the vulnerability in both characters. It was during Wednesday's episode (12th July) where Dan said "you have every right to be online" was a moment I caught myself a little emotional over as it reminded me of my own experience once again - it's clear how much Dan cares about his daughter and just wants what's best for her like parents do. The way that parents want their children to hear the truth, sometimes isn't the best way to do but on the other side sometimes it just needs to be said. There was many times during this week that I felt for Am
