The EP consists of five songs that fit with this theme and ‘Hollywood Clichés’ is the lead track from the EP.
‘Hollywood Clichés’ provides commentary on the false image of love as portrayed in the movies, but it is also a comment on how love in real life is much rawer, much more authentic, and can be so much more beautiful for it.
