Single Review: “Home Safe?” – Righteous Reck

updated on

’s funny when I went to tag Righteous Reck here, my first thought was that this would be up @ruinzason and his brother @jflamesondabeat ‘s street, turns out they’re connected on social media already. This track has layers, the pitched up vocals and piano give it that love song vibe, but it’s not strictly a love song, it could …

Single Review: “Unfinished Sympathy” – Massive Attack
