I'd say in terms of a debut this is very strong, both because the excellence of her vocal performance alone justifies excitement for the future, but also because stylistically this finds its good niche of groovy, smooth soulsy stuff. 1 is very lovely, but I only wish the male voice wasn't there as it makes it sound more cheesy without adding much imo. 2 has a nice piano I guess but even her voice can't save it from just being a cheesy ballad. Things pick right back up afterwards with the simple but fun 3, the smooth 4, and the higher tempo, more beaty, more electronic 5. There isn't a world turning song here, but it's all good - and hindsight tells us the reasonable excitement stemming from a debut EP like this was justified. 3.5
