Sinatra's versatility and delivery is apparent on the diverse selection of production.
Sinatra's sound throughout the EP can be categorized into three themes: murky, peculiar and hype. "Hi" an ode to a lover, represents the darker side of Sinatra as he croons about heartbreak. "Hollow Meets Sinatra" is a two part song that gives you a taste of his ability to flow on a trap beat and slow it down when the beat becomes softer. "Ascension," a track that can easily be compared to artists like Juice WRLD and Lil Peep, blend all three themes together making the song perfect for any mood. "Bye" is an insightful wrap up of Sinatra's current state of mind about intimacy, ego and lifestyle.
