Kako je materijal nastajao u dugačkom periodu, interesantno jest da je zadržao, odnosno dobio zajedničku stilsku crtu, od vesele i bezbrižne uvodne "Keep me" s čak nekoliko pratećih mješovitih vokala nastavljajući u ništa manje raspoloženoj "Back in your arms" potkrijepljenoj saksofonom i klavijaturama, da bi treća "I don't wanna go home" s Bob Segerovskim, pa pomalo i Springsteenovim šlihom posve uronila u zamaman AOR čemu mnogo kumuje fini, trezveni vokal Vinka Bakovića - Rustyja oko kojeg se sve razvezuje počevši od gitarskih legata, glavnog temelja svih pjesama.

The dual magic of male and female vocals creates a rich tapestry of sound, evoking a range of emotions that resonate deeply with listeners. Their music, encompassing a broad spectrum from soft rock to classic rock, aims not just to entertain but to strike a chord with the very heart of their audience."
"Released at the end of March, "Tonight" is an album that delivers to the public 10 songs, almost 43 minutes in length and a sound that travels through aspects of rock such as classical and soft, in addition to a vocal style and instrumental elements typical of Americana, with very well-executed drums, finger-picked backing, keyboard/piano arrangements and a combination that makes us hum along to the song's choruses, in a way that doesn't leave anyone standing still."
"In the repertoire of ten songs spread over just over 42 minutes, the band manages to balance their compositions well, moving through styles such as rock, folk, blues and country, including in this order of appearance. Always with good arrangements, an impressive balance, in addition to the good energy that emanates from their songs."

The song offers an immersive sound experience, taking listeners on a captivating journey through different musical genres."
"Seven and counting get their record underway with an infectious and upbeat tune called ‘Keep Me’. It’s got an old-school rock ‘n’ roll vibe to it, and it’s the perfect start to proceedings. ‘Back In Your Arms’ then makes its introduction with a deadly saxophone and a piano-led groove that culminates into a soulful sort of ballad…Just superb! ‘I Don’t Wanna Go Home’ starts quietly, but it’s not long before the listener is met with another anthemic chorus that showcases the act’s knack for crafting irresistibly catchy and memorable songs. With seven more tunes to discover, what on earth are you waiting for?"
"The entire album is a great mix of sentimental sounds, and a pleasant journey into a more enjoyable and lively time. 'I Promise' sports a Bruce Springsteen feel, and that’s when I knew this group of musicians from across the ocean actually pulled off Americana style rock quite well. 'Dancing With My Dream' is another smooth, wistful tune pulling us back in time for one more sunset cocktail before the blues based 'Stranded'. We settle into a ballad with 'No Easy Way Out', offering a break from the pace and placed perfectly in slot number 7 of ten tracks."
“Back In Your Arms” has touches of early Springsteen, that same blend of romance and idealism he had before the fixation with cars and girls and factories fully took hold. (Ohh, subtle reference on the album cover!) “Good Times Rockin’” is the sound of Tom Petty and the boys had they remained a southern bar band and “I Promise” has a wonderful touch of Roy Orbison about it.
On this occasion we want to introduce you to a band that has multiple influences and members who bring a lot of authenticity to each work they present, that's right! This time we are talking about “SEVEN AND COUNTING” and if you still don't have the pleasure of meeting them then tonight you will have the privilege of never forgetting them!
Uoči koncerta, porazgovarali smo s Vinkom Bakovićem. "- Album smo snimali u zadarskom studiju Twenty Twenty. Zapravo smo dio te priče jer smo od osnivanja studija i izdavačke kuće bili u tom prostoru i tamo vježbali i surađivali s Jerom Šešeljom, uspješnim producentom, koji je i izdavač albuma. Super nam tu je bilo snimati album jer je sve bilo doma".
