The bad had been inactive until the acoustic act Foreplay, in which White, guitarist Brian Kibler and vocalist Tara Crowe, were performing merged with drummer Rob Lilly to relaunch the group.

In January 2016, White recorded a new six-song EP titled High Road with Grammy Award-winning producer Jim Annunziato at Logos Studios in Massapequa, New York.

In an interview on Philadelphia radio, he explained the EP was an "attempt to fuse the confessional singer-songwriter vibe stemming from Southern California during the 1970s with a 1990s alternative, full band sound.

"[16][17] The Sentinel reported that Four Songs "contains moments of pop and flavor of southern rock paired with plenty of clean guitar licks amongst White's clear and distinctive vocals."

White undeniably has an ear for writing catchy, radio-friendly songs and is extremely talented, however his musical style is a bit outdated Even when he is pushing out creativity, it still sounds as if he is trying too hard to emulate his influences.

"[20] Dustin Schoof of The Express-Times wrote that, "White goes from belting out a tender, folksy acoustic tune ("Maybe, Amy") to plugging in and cutting loose on "Bloodshot", highlighted by a smoking guitar lead.

"[22] Sandy Lo of WHOA magazine wrote that, "White's music is certainly lyrically based which is a breath of fresh air nowadays with so much machinery and big beats thrown into songs."

White also responded regarding his much publicized affair with American Idol that "the problem [with the show] is the judges dismissed the best singers but would then send a guy through wearing a clown costume.

In August 2010, White was nominated for three 2010 Lehigh Valley Music Awards for Best Songwriter, Best Lyricist, and Best Band Website, which included 3,000 other fan and industry nominees.
