The EP kicks off with its title track, a synth-heavy anthem that sets a rhythmic precedent for the tracks that follow.

The soul-stirring “Say More” transitions smoothly into the reflective “Moving Forward,” and the EP concludes with the Rhythm & Sound influenced “Little Chant.” This collection, mastered by the skilled Rob Small, moves at a brisk tempo of 126-130 bpm, yet maintains a calm, comfortable, and evolving musical logic.
