This soul singer is definitely someone to listen to over the weekend, perfect choice for easy listening on a lazy sunday afternoon! His latest song shelter is beautiful and hypnotic.
LUCIE AZCONAGA
The latest catchy single from Lucie, ‘Chatterbox’, has a really summery sound. Sitting in a beer garden on a nice sunny day, Lucie overheard two guys having a chat, one chatterbox and another extremely bored chap which became the inspiration for this wonderful song!
