My Neck, My Back

Khia

Direction

WE SAY

We first heard this via Daniel Glass at Artemis who enjoyed considerable success with it in the US. We told him at the time it was a European smash in waiting and we're delighted to say that could now happen as Sony UK imprint Direction intend to break it this summer. Yes, it's filth, but not as filthy as the dirty version.
