This second record is a smash with this reviewer, boasting smooth vocals and guitar playing, which is in many ways understated while being captivating. In his simplicity he has captured the moment.

Hemant Rao, born and raised in Montreal, has been a professional musician and songwriter for the last 15 years. A classically trained violinist, he developed an infatuation for Pop and Rock music in his early teens and aptly migrated to playing acoustic and electric guitar, developing a versatile repertoire of styles while playing with numerous bands. In 1990, he moved to Vancouver, choosing to develop his own songwriting and arrangement signature, rather than playing other musicians composition.

Hemant's music draws on his own harmonious vocals and earnest lyrics. Sunshine Runaway is an eclectic pastiche of guitar laden pop songs, which are delivered in a forceful way that captures the listener.

The first track “Confidence” was superb, followed by “seashell” and “loner.” My favorite was “sunshine runaway.”
