EP Review Molly Payton - Compromise

‘Compromise’ is a textured collection of tracks that captures a glimpse at a rising artist keen to leave her mark, continuing the promising streak seen on 2021 mixtape ‘Slack’. ‘Do It All The Same’ sets the tone with a ferocious intro, and the energy level never wanes. As with the rest of this EP there is a witty lyricism to be found showing her sharpness as a songwriter. ‘Handle’ boasts a softer side built more around her vocals and after a more melodic opening the builds to an epic crescendo showing her ability to draw on disparate sounds. ‘Ruins’ rounds things off in style, with a shift to a more upbeat tempo. This is an energetic, rollicking collection of songs showing a clear understanding of her sound and strengths.
