5 Figures

Trybe

Brando (Sweden)

WE SAY

We supported Swedish pop dance act Trybe's last single but, if we're honest, it was probably too hard to pigeonhole to break through internationally. This one's not easy to pigeonhole either but it's such a strong lyric idea, succintly summing up the decline of dance music, and it's a decent hook as well.
