I Would is a tremendously effecting indie / alternative track that is made by the contribution of the titular singer and the backing instrumentation laid down by a cast of talented musicians. The track works in the current but is built off of the dreamy fare of the seventies and nineties.
Come Back ties together hints of jazz, The Carpenters, and a little bit of beat bongo to make something that will resound loudly with listeners long after Taking Off has completed. Vivid Dreams is the final track on Taking Off, and it showcases a much more raw and intense style for Maia & The Pilots; The Mamas & The Papas and Tegan and Sara are combined here to make an unique and fun end to a tremendous introduction.
Rating: 8.7/10
