Review
The new single is really well done. It features their signature sound with the instrumentals, and blends the beautiful vocals as well. They have the ability to bring the listener in with their lyrics, and leave them wanting more. This is an insanely talented group that just keeps popping out hits. Definitely a performance that needs to be on your playlists. You will be listening to them on repeat for a while. Make sure to add this one to your playlists.
