Evaluate each band/artist by the album you are listening to, anything before or after can wait ;)

Skin delivers again, and again and again. Pick whatever track and it's a banger. So raw, real and with no punches pulled.

1 Nite – NITE

Darkwave

I found this by complete accident while researching for another album release and I've never been happier 🎉

This makes me want to locate a black guy-liner and kohl up the eyes like I'm in my 20s again.
