The EP showcases catchy melodies and energetic production but lacks strong thematic cohesion across all tracks.

What we noticed

  • The first five tracks maintain a high energy level with driving beats and synth-heavy arrangements, while the sixth track introduces a well-known cover that shifts the tone.
  • Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies that create a rich texture, particularly in 'Jupiter' and 'Feel Better'.
  • The EP closes with a remix that reinterprets earlier themes, providing a contrasting sound to the preceding tracks.
