The track, "Brand New," feels like a breath of fresh air on a crisp morning, with its acoustic pulse connecting like a warm, familiar embrace. Francis Skyes' vocal glides lightly over the driving guitars, filled with both vulnerability and strength as he pleads, "to keep believing that one day you'll give me a second." Each movement tells a different part of the story—through layers of organic instrumentals and subtle electronic textures, creating depth at every turn.
