Moments worth listening for

Where the writing does something specific.

  • Memory of Love (feat. Paul French)

    The bridge introduces a moment of introspection as it shifts to a more melancholic tone, contrasting with the upbeat production.

    This tonal shift not only adds emotional depth but also showcases the duo's ability to blend different musical styles seamlessly.
