I love the production team for keeping this in, as it sets up the introduction to Yebba’s heavenly vocals perfectly!

Write a comment It’s common nowadays for band to take inspiration from old school rock and roll groups like Greta Van Fleet for example. It isn’t often, however, that you hear not only those roots glow through the music, but also in the production.
