“It’s Up To You” reminded me of Adele. What a great musical experience! The song has an excellent and compelling musical arrangement that is almost impossible not to be charmed by.

“For You” has a melancholy undertone. Lyia’s vocals are filled with distress and sorrow, and the song’s musical composition perfectly reflects the essence of the track. The chords and the synths all give an air of melancholy, but it’s the flawless vocal delivery that really shines out.
