Close Your Eyes is sooo catchy. I really love it and pre-saved the EP.

Probably the first time I ever pre-saved something. Great Escape and CYE already have secure spots in my favorite songs of 2024 list

just added Close Your Eyes to my summer playlist! its such a bop and i love the depeche mode/ 80s synthpop influence 

 

pre-saved your album and wishing you all the best king!

Thank you so much for pre-saving the EP It really does help, shows Spotify there's a growing audience, it's a marathon not a race but I'm super proud of the new songs and so excited for people to finally hear them!!

I proudly present to you: a journey through synthesizers, melodies conceived in dreams, and the recesses of a tortured poet 20 something gay man's mind as he slowly finds his place in the world.

My debut EP: 'The Plea'

 

Track Listing:

1. Glowing

2. Close Your Eyes

3. Great Escape

4. The Winner/El Vencedor

Thank you They're coming! It takes a few days to load

 

[The Next Day]

Happy release day! Love the EP, it's a 1-2-3-4-5 punch, even the Christmas song doesn't feel out of place. I love the sequencing, a lot of artists actually don't think about the flow so it's great to hear that you care (Glowing into CYE into GE is very pleasing, and then the first and last lyric of the EP referencing snow, I see what you did there).

 

The first three songs are really catchy and perfect pop. I will add Snow Angel to my Christmas playlists for sure. And The Winner sounds different and a little experimental, keeps me excited for your album! I will patiently for that, but everything I've heard sounds very promising. I hope you make it to Germany sometime, you have at least one fan here But also synth pop never goes out of style here, so I bet there are a lot of others who would be interested.

[Mephisto]

Just listened to it a few times and I have to say I genuinely like every single song! Glowing is definitely my favorite, I'm obsessed with it (I didn't think anything would surpass Close Your Eyes tho)! Also I love how when you play it on repeat, Snow Angel into Glowing works so well! 

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

Amazing ep! Great choice to open the EP with Glowing, it immediately hooked me on the project and tbh I could see it becoming a hit 

 

We need The Winner [Extended Version] with more of that reaggeton-esque outro

[livelikemusic]

Streaming now!!

[SoldierofLove]

This is a great debut EP! Congrats!  Now add a few more songs and make it an album!

Thank you so much for saying all this!! Yes i care so much about sequencing the songs, I laboured over it quite a bit haha. For me Snow Angel was always more of a song that uses Xmas (but more generally December because there's other holidays too) as a setting rather than being part of the typical Christmas genre about Santa or Jesus and whatnot, so I thought it still fit. It's funny you mention Germany too because I have a ton of streams from there, I think it's my second biggest country on Apple Music which is my biggest platform rn.

Thank you!! "Glowing" is the 'focus track' so that's where all the promo $ from the label is going now, I love it too, excited to see what it can do

Thank you!! I might do that if there's enough interest in terms of streams, I thought about doing the whole song as kind of a slow reggaeton thing, how Rosalia of me lol

The cover is giving Iggy's Wicked Lips. And that's a compliment! 
 

We love apple imagery!

CLOSE YOUR EYES  This is lowkey a vibe

I loved your EP! It's all killer, no filler. A solid 8/10
