"Winged" is not just a song; it's a declaration of Hayes' passion for electronic music and a testament to his journey from a piano-centric musician to a multi-instrumentalist and producer who deftly manipulates beats and samples.

The EP "Bloom" consists of five tracks, including "Palms," "Changeless," "Bloom," "Winged," and "Dyad," each contributing to a comprehensive experience that explores new sonic territories. Hayes' move to Denver has inspired this sonic shift, reflecting his continuous pursuit of musical exploration and expression. Drawing comparisons to the hypnotic dancefloor psychedelia of Jon Hopkins and Rival Consoles, "Bloom" stands as a testament to Hayes' influences and ambitions, encapsulating his respect for versatility and challenge in music.
John Hayes' journey from Minneapolis to Denver, from classical piano training to a self-taught electronic music producer, embodies a narrative of transformation and resilience.
