The album’s title immediately piques interest, but the music’s emotional depth truly engages the listener, creating a deep connection.

The album starts with “Matter of Time,” a track that immediately spotlights Jonathan’s distinctive sound. His vocals, at times almost robotic, create an intriguing contrast with the sad lyrics. The subsequent “Ghost of You” features a spine-tingling instrumental with high-pitched chords and an ominous melody. Maiocco’s vocals, monotone yet delivering emotive lyrics, further enhance the album’s distinctive sound.

The third song on the album, “Heaven,” is a showcase of Jonathan’s vocal ability. He effortlessly switches from high to low-toned notes, accompanied by an infectious instrumental consisting of melodic keys that grow more powerful and robust as the song progresses. The album concludes with a relaxing ukulele version of “Heaven,” which further emphasizes Jonathan’s voice.
