"L.O.V.E." EP is out!! - Ellustrate (WesT)

Check out the new EP, guys! Download it or stream it. But be sure to PLEASE like the page so it can spread on facebook and shit. Thanks.

This whole EP is about a break-up I experienced recently. Although me and my girlfriend are back together, I still decided to release this EP for anybody who is experiencing heartbreak. I GUARANTEE that you will relate. And if you want to read a review on it, you can.

Emotions get the best of me, the thought of you stresses me
Love me and break me, that's the fuckin' recipe
So why do I miss you? I'm walking on these eggshells
Hoping for an answer and all I do is beg help

Why does your voice sound so much like Steve Spag's? lol. Are you Canadian?

First, a LOT of the structure / flow / emotion of this EP sounded like a mesh of songs from GLU... I think that goes without saying, though.

I wasn't in to most of the songs, to be honest. I don't know, just to me, the emotion didn't sound right for what you were saying.. It sounded really forced. I mean, I can tell that when you wrote the lyrics you really meant them, but it feels like you lost that hatred / sadness before you recorded this... Do you get what I mean? Like you were tryna feel it, but it just wasn't there.


The one song I really liked, though, was 'Red Water'. Everything about that song was great. From the instrumental, to your emotion / lyrics, to the sampled hook. Great stuff. If the entire EP sounded as good as that song, I'd be very impressed with this.

Also, as side not/question: Why does the guy on the second verse of 'If You Listened' sound mad gay? I mean, he sounds like Jeffrey Starr... lol

Overally, this was 'okay'. I'd give it a 2.5/5 if I were to rate it. Simply because a lot of stuff didn't seem to mesh well together. But, like I said: Red Water... .Awesome.

I wrote/recorded all this while the breakup was still happening. And no disrespect to Spag but I don't sound like him, haha. I HATE that comparison. And yeah, I'm Canadian.

Thanks for the feedback, homie!
