What It Sounds Like Bremnes fits well into today's Christian music landscape. The four-track EP effectively balances a diverse range of sounds. "Cortado" is an upbeat and energetic pop number. "Started With You" is an inspirational anthem sure to engage audiences. "Called Your Name" is a heartbreaking emotional track that balances nostalgia, hope, and heartache within its musical framework.
Spiritual Highlights "Started With You" is a testament to God's love and faithfulness in times of trial. On this song, Bremnes sings, "And honestly, I'm not sure how I got this far/Still so many days I'm barely holding on/But every journey it started with You/Every door that You brought me through."

The song goes from that innocent first encounter, through times of joy, and ultimately to unimaginable sorrow. The song's raw and honest nature makes it one that leaves a lasting impression.
Best Song "Called Your Name" is the one I'll remember for a long time to come.
Final Word Despite its slim length, Dan Bremnes makes the most of his time with listeners to leave a lasting impression. At only four songs, it's well worth your time to give this EP a listen.
