Temptation

Temptation is the debut EP by Kieran Spears. It was released on February 10, 2022 which is also Kieran's birthday.
==Background==
Kieran began working on a debut project in 2018, however wouldn't release any music until 2020 with the debut single "Strawberry Heart" when he would begin the rollout for the "Temptation" EP. The EP was to serve as an album sampler of sorts and build hype for Kieran's debut album "Operation: Temptation", which was planned to be released shortly in the same year, which would include the 6 tracks from this EP, as well as "Elixir" and more songs that would've fleshed it out into a full album. However, as of 2023, this album has still yet to be released, and Kieran has begun work on a whole new project, which is "Delicate Neon Kisses" so it is safe to assume that "Operation: Temptation" is likely shelved.
==Composition==
The EP was worked on from 2019 until 2021. In 2019 "Cherry Pie" (produced by R A B B I T) and "Elixir" (with production from AIMM) would be written, making them the first two songs to be written for the album, however they would not be recorded for release until 2021. "Elixir" was not used for the EP for unknown reasons, and was later released as a stand-a-lone single. AIMM and Kieran would produce multiple demos and concepts for what was originally a full length album, most of which have not been used. In 2020, "Strawberry Heart" was written and recorded, with production from AIMM, a romantic bubblegum pop track that would serve as Kieran's first single, and the lead single from the EP. The last songs recorded for the EP were recorded in 2021, "Haunt Me", "Shock Your Mind", "Lonely Nights" and "Operation: Temptation (Intro)", the latter of which had already been written in 2020, and was originally envisioned as a dark EDM song, which would follow a humanoid robot that is programmed to attract men and murder them, this version remains unrecorded as the idea was deemed to dark and was promptly scrapped.
The sound was envisioned to be more EDM and dance pop based, which can be heard in "Shock Your Mind", however the tracks on the EP are more bubblegum pop. The lyrical content of the EP mostly consist of love songs and romantic lyrics.
== Trivia==
The first single released for Temptation was Strawberry Heart, which is also intended for Operation: Temptation.
It is Kieran's only ep/album release to be released under the Kieran S name.
