“Crystalize” is a piece about surrender, trust, and transformation. Blending ethereal vocals, electronic beats, and synths inspired by the movement of ocean waves, the track explores letting go and trusting that nature can guide us back to ourselves. Inspired by the way coral, crystals, and the human spirit are shaped through pressure and time, NOTEP describes “a reminder that clarity comes when we stop resisting the current.”
Rain by Berlin is a chill classical piano EP that brings about the calming feeling on a gloomy, rainy day. Evoking a gentle sadness, each piece brings about an inner feeling of restoration and tranquility. "Alps" is about belonging and togetherness; its soft sound is as transcendent as it is peaceful.

"The core theme throughout my debut EP is pure self expression, realising things about yourself but also about growing up. All these songs were written at a very real point, mainly as the songs came one year after I got sober and in that time I was still growing up and in the process of figuring out who I was, and who I wanted to become. 'Sorry' is about the importance of forgiveness, not only for others, but yourself.” — Hutch

Leading the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, he brings blazing energy and sensual atmosphere to three masterpieces by Manuel de Falla. In El amor brujo, the haunting power of cante jondo ignites music of ritual, mystery, and passion. Together, these works reveal Falla’s extraordinary ability to transform the sounds of Spain into orchestral magic, performed here with dazzling virtuosity and unmistakable Latin fire.

"Touch" is about being so in love with someone to the point where you lose control over your own life. Even though the person seems to be "playing games" with your feelings, their beauty and presence are so powerful that you are willing to drop everything just to be near them and do anything for them.
