"Things I Wish I Said" is a moving and thoughtful look at the feelings of the heart that we don't always say. Nia Perez's first EP, a five-song collection lasting just under 19 minutes, combines indie pop and bedroom pop with a very personal story that will appeal to romantic, creative, and sensitive people.
Every song sounds like a personal confession, but the way it makes you feel makes it easy for anyone who has been in love, lost someone, or wanted closure to relate. Nia's "shapeshifting" opening song captures the confusing feeling of losing your identity in love and how people often change themselves to please others.
"not her," which explores betrayal and longing, best captures the EP's emotional core. Nia's singing is raw and powerful, capturing the pain of seeing a partner leave for someone else while still wanting to hold on to the past. In the same way, "oh sweet july" turns a personal heartbreak into a universal song of pain and thought.
"cognitive dissonance" looks at the mental conflict that comes with toxic love and shows how fear and desire can keep someone in a bad relationship. "little old flame," the EP's last song, is a song of resolution that marks the end of a cycle, and it brings the project to a cathartic and reflective end.
"Things I Wish I Said" is a debut EP that shows timelessness, closeness, and deep humanity. It's a collection for music fans who value emotion, art, and honesty. Nia Perez has become a notable voice, and this EP is the start of her story.
