The album's standout tracks, "Dubai" and "Oliva Oliva," offer a glimpse into Rain's ability to craft songs that are both universally relatable and deeply personal. The former is a pulsating anthem of self-discovery, while the latter is a tender ode to love and connection. "A Dollar a Day" and "The Meadows" round out the album with a sense of closure and reflection, leaving the listener with a sense of having journeyed through a year of growth and change.
