Intro A song which will smoothly make its way onto my playlist this week without hesitation. Highlighting that less is more, the track is stripped back of any over saturating basslines and instead relies on the soulful vocals of Londoner Ashley David to carry it. And he does this so well!

It’s a nice change to hear a song admiring another person in a classy…

I’m all over this song as a go-to track for chilled drives along backroads that lead to nowhere. The commercial sounding electro-pop track oozes a sultry sort of calm. Which ties in seamlessly to Charlotte’s perfectly poised sunbathing scenes and L.A. sunlit background. Edinburgh born and London based Charlotte Black says of her new music video, “I wanted to capture a dreamy yet fasted paced video that represents an exciting and fresh summer love. I’m a huge sun baby myself, so filming out there was a dream come true.” The short intro follows by the steady pace of the first…
