Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

What we noticed
- The first half of the EP features a consistent use of soft acoustic instrumentation, while the second half introduces more varied arrangements, including layered harmonies.
- Several tracks employ a call-and-response vocal style, particularly in 'Everybody Knows', which enhances the storytelling aspect.
- The last three tracks slow down significantly, creating a reflective atmosphere that contrasts with the more upbeat earlier songs.
