Cinco Santos – “Un Poco De Ti” – Single Review One of the reasons that I’ve always been extremely open to listening to music made in another language is the extreme ability that the perspective gives you in breaking everything we hear down.

Toner – “Falling Short” (Demo) – Single Review Right on! Been a while since I’ve heard a demo-tune…I know that’s not always the most exciting thing for other people out there, but for me personally, I love it.
