Sound
''Spring'' carries a new sound from the previous two Foreman EPs, ''
Fall'' and ''
Winter'', which were more melancholy in nature. "Spring" is rooted in more upbeat, hopeful tones. "March", an upbeat and jumpy song, sets the tone for the rest of the EP, which captures and corresponds with the "rebirth" and "new life" themes that are commonly associated with the season.
