“‘Everything We Could Have Done is a reflection of living in your past. Within the EP, I tried to capture the duality that this reflection can provide. In some ways it can be a positive thing; to reminisce about fond memories, but in others, it can lead to holding onto parts of your life that you romanticize and can’t let go of.
The 2 collaborations on the EP act as a reminder that it’s the people you care deeply about, are what you should be living for in the moment.”

The release takes a deep dive into the emotions surrounding living in the past and the duality it can provide.
