What we noticed

  • The first track, 'Monster', opens with a heavy bassline and layered vocals that set a dark, intense tone for the EP.
  • The production employs electronic elements and dynamic shifts in tempo, particularly noticeable in tracks like 'Naughty' and 'Feel Good'.
  • The EP concludes with 'Uncover', which slows down the pace significantly, creating a contrasting end to the high-energy tracks preceding it.
