"The latest release from Zoe Bayani is a beautifully woven and personal EP that feels like maybe the most relatable set of songs you've heard in some time with graceful performances vocally and musically as horns ride out, pisno's bop along and the songwriting touches on vintage styles. The best thing about this record is that you learn to expect the unexpected after a few songs. They all have such a klush feel and so much diversity between each other that it's absolutely enticing. The songs float and bounce with a wondrous brightness and this allure that makes you want more each time. They have such great melodies, hooks, choruses and verses all draped in a vivid palette of sound and textures that compliment each other and are performed with this at ease undertone. It's all impactful, dreamy, poppy, and gorgeous. You float your way through this EP which, by the way, feels much bigger as it's laced with tasteful piano licks, and swaying guitar sections underneath harmonizing vocals that sooth and tell stories. You get all sorts of genres that peek their heads out here and there and her charm works perfectly no matter which it is every time. Those melodies are the kind that make the hair on your arms stand up and by the end you question whether or not you've fallen for her all together. This was a genuine and character riddled record that fulfilled me completely." -The Sounds Won't Stop
