Having spent a couple of years building up a following, Tyler has released this six song EP full of teenage angst and focused solely on girl problems. Fans of Justin Bieber - and almost any other boy band singers - will feel right at home listening to this and as you would expect Tyler has a huge female following. His gravelly and relatively deep vocals fit right in with the hook laden pop tunes and it is all delivered with confidence and some good production to top it off. From the almost rocky "SuperHuman" to the piano-led ballad "It's Not Easy" finishing with the power pop title track, Tyler handles everything that is thrown at him vocally and while the songs cover nothing but relationships, they manage to do so without the more obvious references to sex that most of his contemporaries resort to. Lyrically it does not appear to live in a world where God comes into relationships and certainly the only mention of God is the compulsory American acknowledgement of God in the credits.
