LJP opens the record with ‘I Don't Wanna Go’ which has an old school rock and roll vibe to it. She sings smoothly as the song builds up before diving heavy into the chorus with excellent vocals that finds her repeating the title, and is a great introduction track to the collection.

Moving on to ‘Cry Cry Cry’ it has a fun production with further fascinating vocals from LJP questioning life after a breakup then realising it's okay to shed some tears. The instrumentation on this particular track is amazingly fun to get up and dance away the sadness.
The EP is stunning with a blend of old mixed with fresh sounds finishing with ‘Dear Friend’ that closes the record with a letter like a song which adds more emotions as the collection comes to an end.
