REVIEW: SEBASTIAN – TOTAL (2011)
Oh! My music buds were tingling a few months back when I first heard SebastiAn’s new tune “Embody”. It was rich in funk, full of texture, and made the body want to jack to its slow house groove and engaging vocal track. The video that accompanied it, directed by “Me So” also turned a few
