The Season of Love
Posted May 06, 2015

It has been a minute since we have heard from Chris Cobbins, but the wait is over. With August Season (Take One), Cobbins is back with his high energy sound that we have come to know and love. This EP is eight tracks of hard hitting bass, on point vocals and, most importantly, a groove that keeps you bobbing your head.
The album opens with the hard-hitting "Up." This is classic Chris Cobbins. This was refreshing, as some artists come back after a long hiatus with a new sound. Cobbins' fans will be happy that he remains the same. The song features a solid verse by Jus B which adds to its hard-hitting nature.
Cobbins has found a formula that works. His music has mass appeal, yet he still pushes limits by playing with sounds and topics. "McFly" and "Whoa!" have a dubstep feel, while "Hitman" and "Backseat Driver" have a standard EDM vibe about them, and "You Care" and "You da One" have a slower tempo.
As far as topics, the album deals with various types of relationships. Whether it's the relationship we have with God, the relationship that God has with us or relationships in general, Cobbins touches on them all.
Closing Thoughts:
It is good to hear from Chris Cobbins again. This album was clearly a labor of love. Some may question a song title like "Lover [4 the Night]," but then again those same people may question Song of Solomon and its place in the Bible. Cobbins delivers a good album with August Season (Take One), and I for one look forward to Take Two.
