By now, most of us know that music can be a form of therapy, but for those who don’t and do not believe in the power that music carries, Evan Page has something good dedicated just for you. “In the Front Seat” is an EP released by this rising 16-year-old artist just this September 27, 2024, a 5-track collection packed with upbeat and uplifting sounds that would be a perfect fit for your afternoon chill. It is relatable, and most of all, just some good music that induces good vibes. Evan Page invites you to the front seat for some good times!
The EP opens with the track “Where It Starts.” From the get-go, you will be welcomed with some upbeat sounds of combined synths and piano underscored with satisfying beats and rhythms. It honestly gives off that kind of lighthearted vibe—the listen that you’ll want to have on a slow Sunday afternoon chill. The track is one that I consider to be very hopeful. It talks about being stuck and stagnated and wanting to have a change in life. This track is empowerment, a relatable track to people who seek to claim control of their messy lives.
With “80 degrees,” it is a track that gives that 100% beach fun vibe with its funky guitar and fun beats! This is a track that is honestly just warm and vibrant. It is a track that I consider carefree, as Evan’s flow on this track is rhythmic, just like waves. This is a very easy listen—a relatable thought for the listeners who are missing the fun vibe and nostalgia caused by a warm day on the beach and the fun.
“House on the Hill,” on the other hand, carries a more serious tone. It is a track that shifts the mood for the whole collection from fun to something serious. This track is about feeling trapped and isolated as the narrator looks into the reality of their sadness in the situation. This talks about the contrast that somehow home gives us—it can be our safest haven and at the same time a prison. This is a very relatable and daunting track that also talks about wanting to be connected and wanting to escape. “I Tried” continues this whole vibe as Evan sings about betrayals and the aches and struggles that they carry soon after. It is a relatable track that conveys a message of being hurt caused by your partner’s infidelity and dishonesty. The line “I tried for you” carries a heavy sense as it underscores the efforts someone had put in to make the relationship work only for it to fail.
“Or Go With Him” closes the whole collection with its melodic yet easy-to-remember tone and chord progression. This track gives that vibe of vulnerability—it’s like Evan opens his soul and bears it for the listeners to see as he sings about love and his intense fear of loss in the relationship. This is a heavy track that looks upon the themes of having your special person choose someone else as they create an ideal state of relationship that is different from reality. The song strongly emphasizes the desire of the narrator for some clarity with their partner wanting them to make a choice. The anxiety and hopelessness are properly conveyed through this track, making this a very familiar track for people who experience the uncertainties of situationships and love.
