[1] At the APRA Awards of 2010 "Breakout" won "Blues & Roots Work of the Year"[2] Ash Grunwald attended a label-initiated songwriters day at Michael Gudinski's house in Victoria's Macedon Ranges and was teamed with hip-hop artist, Pip Norman (from TZU) and the duo wrote the album's title track, described by Shane Fowles from The Standard as "an uplifting blues gospel tune", in a day.
[4] Shane Fowles from The Standard said "Like a merging of the old and the new, the result [of the co-producing by Grunwald and Norman] is a melding of blues bass-lines, ripping riffs and hip-hop influenced backbeats."
adding "There are grunge elements on opener 'Can U Find a Way', smooth funk on 'Get What You Want' and some soulful, acoustic numbers that temper the digital assault.
"[4] Andrew Rudge from The Dwarf said "There is a range of styles in the songs on this album from the chain gang industrial sound of 'Can U Find a Way' to the slow acoustic gospel of 'Give Something Away', sung with a preachers desperation.
There is range of emotions in the songs too, from the fast paced fun and funk of 'Mojo' to the dark relationship regrets within 'The Devil Called Me a Liar'.
