The new EP 'Commands' was released on July 25th 2016. ‘Commands’ is an electro/downtempo/dark pop record where the theme of acceptance peaks through the harsh feelings of anxiety and loss. The challenges faced in hiding a same-sex relationship, the complications in disclosing the truth and the breakdown of a close friendship fuels the tension throughout.

'Commands' is available now on iTunes, Spotify and all major retailers and streaming services.
