{{cquote|"I had a couple of really early morning and really late-night sessions to line up my schedule with America, and that somehow affected the music I had written. It became very apparent that there were very distinct and different vibes. At first, I was a little confused as to how I would fit all of the songs into one EP and have it flow properly, and then we realised that three songs sounded very morning-like and the other three sounded more suited to the night."}}
