Every track off Evan Page's debut In The Front Seat EP is an unpredictable blast down the highway of life, but man does it feel good cruising in your own skin. Right away it is easy to tell this EP is going to be one that draws you in, capturing your focus with meaningful lyrics and full production. Page's voice threads through the highs and lows with an ease that makes you feel as though he is speaking (or singing) only to you. The EP balances between uncertainty and acceptance, capturing fleeting moments with lasting impact.

The project begins with the title "Where It Starts," a tune that implores you to get off your feet. The reflective lyrics partnered with the upbeat instrumentation, set up what to expect from the EP. The song is about struggle, freedom and it feels empowering to finally take charge. Its raw energy and sense of vulnerability wrapped in resilience finds Page as a man with his back against the wall singing about being stuck, but also taking control.

The EP breezes into life with the light-hearted single "80 Degrees", a world away from how tormented its opener sounded. It feels like a day spent soaking in summer’s golden light, where worries are momentarily cast aside in favor of living fully in the present. The track flows like a sea breeze—light, refreshing, yet filled with layers of deeper meaning about the ephemeral nature of happiness.

However, the EP doesn't stay in that bright space. "House on the Hill" shifts to a more introspective, haunting tone. The icy sound reflects the emotional isolation of the protagonist, painting a picture of self-imposed solitude where escape seems both impossible and undesired. The poetic, ambiguous lyrics leave listeners in a suspended emotional state, wanting more while appreciating the depth of silence.

“I Tried” is a catharsis, with heartbreak distilled into raw reflective moments. With Page's frank lyrics you can feel the weight of regret and yearning seep through. His vocal performance shines, balancing on the edge of despair without becoming overly sentimental.

The EP concludes with "Or Go With Him," which is a song about finding yourself in a love you never thought would happen. The fragile melody set against those wistful lyrics are like a gorgeous ending in which love and loss walk away hand-in-hand, cease-firing one another.

In “In The Front Seat”, Evan Page masterfully blends intricate storytelling with engaging soundscapes. The EP feels like a life captured in five songs—a thoughtful reflection on the human condition, where even the toughest moments are softened by the beauty of their telling.
