Their music is a melting pot of old-school-funk, latin rhythms, and classic soul. Their groovy basslines combine with intoxicating vocal harmonies to create a sound that is truly beautiful.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Riding high on the success of their last EP &#8216;Pleasures&#8217; the boys are back again with the infectiously catchy &#8216;Secret Admirer&#8217;. The track starts simply with a lackadaisical guitar riff and a commanding percussion part. The song builds in texture (with the addition of a strong synth presence and some dynamic electric guitar) before the vocals are introduced. They are strong and powerful and yet they do not overpower the instrumentation. They hover freely at the top of the song providing a great focal point for the track.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brothers Ben and Harry Stanworth, and friend Elliot Salter are no strangers to recognition.

The track is playful, and lively, and just the kind of summer hit that we have been waiting for.
