The handwritten letter from the “Way Back Home” hitmaker reads: “Hi There, This is SHAUN! Last 3 years must have been endlessly dark and extremely harsh time for all of you and it was for myself as well. Nevertheless, all your love and support to my latest release “#0055b7” come to me as the biggest source of energy and motivation. Thanks to all my fans!! Now I’m coming back with a new EP ‘Omnibus Pt.1 – Kaleidoscope’ on THURSDAY JULY 28th.”
In the letter, Shaun goes on to explain the meaning behind the EP title: “EP ‘Omnibus’ as its name implies different stories from different people. Hope you take in all the various emotions and stories, empathize, and be touched and feel this music with the most passionate and open mind.”
