Combining with fellow countryman and funk-soul-r&b vocalist Georges Perin, “Around” builds around a captivating vocal topline with chugging drum grooves, rippling arps, modulating analogue bass notes and expansive audioscapes. A track with endless depth and width within its production – “Around”, pushes the boundaries of aural experience and was made to be played loud.
