I got Helium and Saturday Night coming this weekend. Thanks for mentioning the bit about Eighteen. That definitely gives a lot more context to the song! I been loving the album more with every listen. It really is good. - Ace

What an amazing mini... It is definitely Key's most personal because he was finally allowed a lot more creative freedom. I adore every single song but Bad Love is still my fave. He mentioned David Bowie as a strong influence and you can definitely hear it. There are stages of Bad Love of course but also Helium, Yellow Tape and Saturday Night from music shows... and maybe the other songs too. Here's Helium :) https://youtu.be/LbPx3pYHiUE
Also as a fun fact; he wrote Eighteen to speak to 18 y-o Key, who was struggling a lot, to tell him yeah you'll go through a lot of shit but you'll be ok cause you'll always be Key.
