"Open Mind": A more meditative and atmospheric composition featuring dreamy synthesizers, evoking a sense of introspection.
"Number": Begins with soft piano, gradually transitioning into a complex soundscape rich with percussion and synthetic textures. Notably, this track stands out for its compelling drum patterns and an '80s vibe, with Sembrano's falsetto soaring on the hook, delivering a plaintive quality that's undeniably captivating.
"Nothing to Say": A vibrant and danceable finale, featuring infectious rhythms and a sense of liberation.
