Stylistically, this EP reflects a more experimental side to Foreman's songwriting. Whereas the "Fall" EP displayed a more straightforward approach musically, experimentation on "Winter" is much more evident. "White As Snow" has a more eastern, oriental sound, while "In Love" carries a near-mantric feel--both new concepts in Foreman's music. The feel of the album is indeed much more "wintry," reflecting the dead of wintertime.
