The energy is infectious, with smart and professional production that allows the guitars and drums to shine. <strong>Nikki&#8217;s <\/strong>powerful vocals, coupled with well-written and relatable lyrics, make this song a compelling journey of resilience and growth. The repeated refrain, <strong><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s so much better now,&#8221; <\/em><\/strong>becomes a powerful anthem of empowerment, encapsulating the EP&#8217;s theme of finding hope amid life&#8217;s challenges. <strong><em>&#8220;Better Now&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> is a must-listen, showcasing<strong> heavy on the heart.&#8217;s<\/strong> musical prowess and emotional depth in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s You That Has To Think&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> by heavy on the heart. is more than just a collection of songs; it&#8217;s a narrative of resilience, redemption, and the human capacity to rise above adversity. <strong>Costas Themistocleous&#8217;s <\/strong>personal struggles and the band&#8217;s collective musical prowess converge to create a captivating EP that resonates with listeners on an emotional level.
