Composition
Band member Mark Read said of the album; "I'm really proud of the amazing work we've put into this album. I feel we've really pulled together a great collection of songs, & you'll be hearing a lot more about it the next few weeks. There's one song that I can listen to continuously on loop before going to bed, & it's the last track on the album. Not long until you can hear it too." A piece on the album on the group's official site reads; "'Rediscovered' is a musical journey in which the band rediscover what got them into music in the first place; extremely catchy pop songs, with a back to basics approach. From the very sing-along-able "Christopher Columbus", which helped inspire the album title, to powerful and stomping dance floor tunes like 'That Somebody Is Me' and 'Lovesick'. But whilst this album is about going back to their roots, it’s also about venturing into new territories, and a lot of people may be quite surprised by the songs that the band have written for this album. For A1, this is the album that will bridge the gap between fans who‘ve stayed true for all these years, to the people who are discovering them for the first time."[5]
