Single Review: “Darling Boy” – Nitin Sawhney and Guy Garvey
Nitin Sawhney and Guy Garvey have collaborated on a song ahead of the release of an album in October. There is so much to love about this song. First of all, it starts off with a multilayered a cappella. The main vocal does some really lovely runs, but It’s the harmony that caught me off …
