'Love Running Wild' is the debut EP for BEC Recordings from the, currently, Nashville-based Tasha Layton and consolidates her entry into the CCM marketplace having spent many years working in the mainstream music industry. Opening with the pop romp single "Love Lifting Me" (a hit on Cross Rhythms radio), that's followed by the electro pop sound of "Filled Up" before dropping the tempo for the ballad "Safe Here". Things pick up again for the single "I Belong To You" and the closing anthemic worship track "Sound Of Heaven" featuring popular worship leader Chris McClarney. A very competent set of pop songs that will hold their heads up high in any company with the added advantage that they guide the listener into a deeper relationship with God - a win-win situation and a very good start to a CCM career that is clearly on the up.
