In the summer of 2015 Maas moved to London, where he joined the band JAYA. Although JAYA is his musical priority, he managed to self-produce the concept EP Aries." - Carte Blanche Music > Read the whole review here "Four ingenously composed tracks, led by the lovely sounding voice of Ron. Soundwise the songs take you from the past to the present. Coldplay meets The Beatles, while Supertramp peeks around the corner too. Lines In The Darkness is the absolute favourite." - On Top Of Music > Read the whole review here (Dutch) "It then gathers pace with some gorgeous horns and a superb instrumental finale but without diminishing from it's delicate nature. You get the full experience of Ron's knowledge and skill in the production. I love the melody in this track, it really gets the feet tapping." - Robs Raw Music > Read the whole review here "It almost sounds like Coldplay with the lively smooth vocals that have strong impactful notes projecting throughout the tracks. Each song is different in a welcoming way and each create wonderful and peaceful imagery when listening to them." - The Orange Typewriter Blog > Read the whole review here "Oh Darling Won't You is another beautiful song which makes me love Ron's voice even more. Rustle in the Yard gives you a jazz feeling. The uptempo song quickly get's stuck in your head. For FTM Top Music this is the EP's favorite." - FTM Top Music > Read the whole review here (Dutch) "The EP starts with a lovely song called Too Close To See. It's quirky and features really clever chord changes throughout. The vocals are phrased in a way that it gives it more of a progressive feel to the song, creating a Porcupine Tree meets pop vibe." - MoggBlog > Read the whole review here "A mixture of spaced out Supertramp reaching out for the psychedelia of Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon via The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust." - Wrong In All The Write Ways > Read the whole review here
