The ‘<i>sour</i>’ part of each song, consists of a bassier, grimier, harder and dancier version of the track, whilst the ‘<i>sweet</i>’ part being more intimate as a piano/orchestral version.</span></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;"> <div style="color: #222222; text-align: justify;"> <img alt="" loading="lazy" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=dabaa24465&view=att&th=14700e8f1c8e731a&attid=0.2&disp=emb&realattid=59e5e86f8f37e551_0.1.2&zw&atsh=1" style="font-family: inherit; margin-right: 0px;" title="sakitumi" /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span></div> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"></b><br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Vol. 2</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> features newer, more banging tunes along with beautiful, gentler piano/orchestral versions to contrast.
