 **A New Beginning** is an EP I wrote back in 2018 in an effort to change up my production style. Originally, this EP was released as *A New Beginning (3-Track)*, featuring A New Beginning as *Nowy Początek* and *Farewell* in two different versions, one being an instrumental titled *Trzymajcie Się*, and the other one being a bootleg of Kelly Clarkson's *Behind These Hazel Eyes* called *Behind These Hazel Eyes (D4rkn355 'Farewell' Bootleg)*! For copyright reasons, the bootleg never made it onto streaming services.
 
 This EP, to me, represents the start of a deviation in tone, production quality, and musical style from my previous works. While it was only a start, I am quite proud of the works I produced.
 
-The EP is available for download on [my copyparty instance](https://files.natconf.dev/public/my_tracks/A%20New%20Beginning/).
