EP Synopsis
An escape route to learning to appreciate the things you have in the life your living. It is your present. Teach your children that a person is more valuable than any treasure found on this earth, teach them to love, teach them to sing, and dance, teach them to be courageous, and tell them they'll be victorious on anything they put their heart and mind to, teach them honesty and to never give up hope. The end of something is always the beginning of something else.

Critical Reception
OkayAfrica Magazine had a review on La Bella Vita stating that the EP is a crumbling tunnel of drum whips, muffled vocals, and scraped effects. Rated | MC = 3/5 by PXY Magazine, the EP is well through-out and brilliantly executed, with a very lo-fi production to La Bella Vita, IIndman was recognised by fairly known blog Mishka NYC stating that "If you are a fan of instrumentals that drift you miles away, this was definitely up your alley, consisting of eighteen minutes of instrumental relaxation, creeping along and pleasant to the ears"
