Palate

Palate is the first EP by singer songwriter Wesley Evans. The EP was released on August 5th, 2018. Pre-Order for the EP began on June 22nd, 2018; with the release of it's first single, Amnesia. On July 13th, he tweeted out the track listing for the EP.

Background
In January 2017, Evans released Your New Favorite, the first song off of his first album, Trust Issues. After that, Evans completed any finishing touches for Trust Issues, and then began the writing process for his second album. Throughout the writing process, Evans changed album direction several times, which resulted in him having a lot of scrapped songs. From there, Evans decided that he wanted to find a way to release these songs, because he felt they were still good. Evans created Palate as a way to release several of these songs, that did not make the cut for his second album.

Name Origin
Evans chose the name Palate for the EP, due to the culinary term "palate cleanser". He felt that, in some ways, the EP served kind of as a palate cleanser, by being a small taste between albums, and a sample of what's ahead.

Composition
The EP begins with Amnesia, which is an electropop song that deals with someone who helps you forget about bad times, when you are with them. Low is an electropop song that deals with not being able to leave someone that treats you poorly. The song contains elements of EDM along with a more dubstep driven drum kit.

Singles
Amnesia was released as the first single off of the EP, on June 22nd, 2018. The song received an acoustic version on July 10th, 2018.

Low was released as a promotional single on July 20th, 2018.
