Oh! (What A Glorious Thing)

Akira The Don

Something In Construction

WE SAY

It has been an eventful time for Akira The Don since we featured him last year. For the uninitiated, there's a good outline of his story up until then posted here . Since then, he has parted company with Interscope and is now talking to UK labels. He has also signed to BMG for publishing. This single is being released through indie Something In Construction, as have previous releases from the Welshman. There's definitely room for Akira The Don's brand of innovative genre-hopping; here he is in joyous pop mode. Radio support has come from 6Music and XFM. JF London Gig: 11 September Single Launch in The Parlour at Sketch, W1S
