Leading the way with emotionally rich acoustic guitar leads, Hip Culture quickly follows with warm bass, resonant keys and amorous accordion as they expand the soundscape and underlying feel of their original song, "It's Gotta Be Love" into a joyous celebration of love at first sight!


Strongest Point(s):
There's a great deal of subtlety at work in "It's Gotta Be Love" - elevating the tune from a simple Pop song into a fairly complex and emotionally engaging composition! The instruments selected and played for the tune conspire to create a warmly inviting, richly immersive soundscape for listeners to fall into, with skillful guitar work joining together with dulcet accordion to deliver melodic lines with depth and character. Nonso Anene's vocal approach is light and airy, with a built-in breeziness that whisks listeners into a blissful sense of love-drunk joy! Beautifully mixed and carefully assembled, "It's Gotta Be Love" clearly comes from talented musicians with tangible experience in the studio!
