Only emerging just a couple of months ago, Bournemouth via Egypt boy-girl duo San Zhi are ready to launch their debut release – the Ice Light EP – on November 12 and we’ve got the lead track as today’s Song Of The Day.
And what a song it is.
A completely understated, quietly defiant five minutes of joy. Basking in a gentle pool of reverb and stirring harmonies, ‘Ice Light’ is – like all truly great pop songs – instantly familiar on first listen.The kind of song where you wonder what the hell your life was like before you heard it. It fills a void you never knew needed filling.
A spell-binding debut.
