Two efficiently built club tracks pair a percussive vocal hook with a more melodic follow-up; polished and memorable, though not a deeply developed standalone sequence.

What we noticed

  • “Rock It” centers on a clipped vocal hook over a springy bass figure and tightly repeated drum pattern.
  • “Follow the Light” shifts toward a brighter, sustained synth melody, giving the two-track release a punchier first half and more expansive second.
