Asaf's collaboration with Shai Sol on "Thinking of You" takes things to another level entirely. The track is soothing and calm, with crisp chord progressions that blend perfectly with the haunting harmonies of Asaf and Shai's voices. It's a romantic and breathtaking performance that sends shivers down the spine, showcasing the depth and range of Asaf's vocal abilities.
"C'est La Victor" is the final track on the EP, and while it's not in English, Asaf's performance will make you feel as though they understand every word he's singing. The song is smooth and emotive, with a sense of sentimentality that's hard to ignore. Despite the sentimental weight of the song, there's a palpable sense of joy and happiness that seems to permeate the performance, leaving us feeling both comforted and uplifted.
