Turn Up The Volume: This sweet little pop gem charms, enchants and affects by its instantly heart and soul romanticism. In the end John Lennon was/is always right, all you need is love. He and Yoko knew it, Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood knew it, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes knew it, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg knew it, Alex Zen and Jacq Andrade know it, and you and I know it. Maybe we should follow Stevie Wonder‘s example more and call a lover/friend/family member just to say I Love You. Sounds sugary? So what, it’s still the best drug ever when you receive that simple three-word message.
Tune in and keep your phone close…
