Simply arranged in the instrumentation, shugE brings out the best of the each element, creating a dynamic rise and fall that energises you and breaks your heart.
shugE explains the track, “The song With Me & the new album it is on titled “DARK WINTER” is the ultimate culmination of my roller-coaster of a life as a musician…why I disappeared for a decade, & why I am back at it. I would really love for your listeners to get to experience this song & album with me.”
