Having already impressed up with a wave of beautiful and blissful compositions in recent times, Canadian singer Tasha Angela continues her upward ascent with the unveiling of her latest cut ‘Undescribable Feeling’.

With a hugely successful 2019 under his belt, which saw him unveil the heavily praised singles ‘Suncats’ and ‘Fireworks’, Australian singer and songwriter Hazlett returns in the new year with the official video for his newest anthem ‘Monsters’.
