“Nothing but Peace, Love and Positivity +++ that’s what I got tatted on my wrist and what I live by everyday.”
By the time the track comes to an end, that beat has energized the room, and that hook has softly but surely woven its way into your consciousness.
This is the kind of moment and indeed song that music fans can turn to and escape within, questioning things themselves, whilst being calmed by the overall good energy and multi-coloured ambiance of the single.
There’s a whole lot of emotion here, and this is what the song is – every aspect works hard to portray the weight of relationship struggles and false impressions.
Crisp, clean and contemporary sound design meets with quickly addictive songwriting on this latest easy hit from artist and songwriter FREMO.

Blissed-out hip-hop hypnosis doesn’t come more nicely packaged than this. As it is, Iris is an accomplished and engaging instrumental that deserves some extra ingredients.

Her voice alone has so much character that you can tell this will last if the songs and the performances keep coming. On top of that though, the songs on this album offer something pure, honest, and deeply considerate – a set of qualities that are so valuable, and well worth holding onto once you find them.
Seeing Sangha collaborate with TW, Pesos is an easy going pop-RnB track, with a dance-hall rhythm and a mildly tropical instrumental vibe on the whole.
