"An electro-pop catchy formula, a little minimalist in its arrangements with a retro sound that reminds of the early 90's for its synthetic percussion and keyboard use, which seems straight out of the 80's. A subtly funkish inclination and a very convincing interpretation caught the attention of his listeners. A recipe that should appeal to lovers of nicely tied synthpop!"
