This beautiful EP also delves into the human experience of love. “Holding Hands” captures the pure joy and innocence of strolling hand in hand with a loved one, whether it’s a first date or a familiar routine. In contrast, “Thinking About You” features a melodic, song-like quality that emerged during a reflective moment when Charles, feeling a touch of loneliness, improvised a tune while waiting for his wife’s return. Facets of Love is an evocative journey through the heart, inviting listeners to embrace their own experiences of love in all its forms.
