Background
[edit]In 2007, brothers Jean Paul Makhlouf and Alex Makhlouf spent an entire summer crafting new material in Jean Paul's home recording studio.[4] In early 2008, Cash Cash signed with Universal Republic and released their self-titled EP in October.[5] The EP was self-produced.[6]
The song "Fairweather Friend" was taken from the EP By the Bedside which is an old EP from Cash Cash that was released in 2006. [4] An earlier version of "Fairweather Friend", released in 2005, also appears in the album The Consequence. An early version of "Breakout" appears in both The Consequence and By the Bedside. [4]
Critical reception
[edit]Lars Hindsley of Dangerman Media gave a positive review for the EP Cash Cash. He stated, "Dense danceable songs, memorable hooks with harmony and high-energy is what you get with Cash Cash."[6] He called the opening track Breakout "alive and a crowd pleaser, sets the tone for what's to come." He described the song as an "upbeat dance groove."[6] He also praised the track, Party In Your Bedroom. He called the song "infectious, from the driving bass to the hook-in of the lyrics."[6]
