    When Monica starts to sing, it makes me ache. Sometimes I feel like my exterior, my body, my skin -I feel like it’s a cage. But on the inside, beyond my bones, I feel like there’s a frenzied, hungry bird that’s pecking at my insides, crying and trying to rip its way out from this cage. I want my life to change. I want to go on an adventure. I want to travel so I can feel things and change and grow. Thank you, Ben, for making my wanderlust burst through my veins.

    This EP is what sets him apart from most of the artists these days...the fact that he can go in such a different direction and still maintain the emotion connection his songs have is truly amazing. This is a much more mature sound than his previous album and hopefully it is only a glimpse of greater things to come.
