This new one from South African duo Future Radio is anthemic, catchy chorus over raucous guitars and big drums… This is beyond brilliant and just as I’d expect from these guys. “Give me something to believe in, give me me room so I can breathe…” This song is so catchy, and living in a world …
Single Review: “Jouska” – Josephine Pascoe
This instrumental is… Full of life. In a time when the world needs to get up and celebrate what we have, this track hits the spot. Josephine plays the violin and flute on this and while you wouldn’t really associate the violin and flute occupying the melody line for jazz and funk, she does it …
