Songs is the new six-track EP from Qualicum Beach roots-rocker WiL. In the EP, WiL utilizes piano, which creates a special kind of music that mixes pop and classical.

The EPs first track, “Our Song,” is totally different, musically, from the other five songs. In this song, WiL uses electric guitars to begin the main musical melody, but the other songs use piano. “Our Song” uses more electronic instruments; it has a delightful and exciting style.

Most of the deep and melodious parts of the EP use piano for the main melody, and the louder, more exciting parts use percussion and electric instruments. But even with this variety, Songs proves that WiL still has a clear vision—and a clear sound—in his songs.
