Right when this track started, i thought it was a new A-ha song…and that isn’t far fetched as A-ha DOES have a new song, and frankly this sounds like a dream collaboration between Morten Harket and Thom Yorke. It is however, the London single Gwilym Gold who is set to his release his debut LP, A Paradise, on August 21.
The downtempo beats and falsetto vocals are gorgeous and infectious. While writing this, I have played the track 3-4 times…not necessarily because i needed to pinpoint something, but simply because it’s that damn good.
