I wrote: “Obsession is one other cowl of the unique Michael De Barre tune and kicks in with tribal drums and a trance like dance vibe that builds right into a hypnotic goth pop dance quantity that might grace any dance ground because it did again within the day. The vocals from New York efficiency Ashley Unhealthy simply make all of it click on like my knees when I attempt to dance.” Learn on…
