Loui the ZU – In The Winter [video]
It’s obvious from the first few chords, paired with the beginning of the video, that Loui the ZU has something up his sleeve with the new video for ‘In the Winter.’ The track itself is polished as hell, with a great pairing of Lydia Cole’s voice and folk sensibilities, and a stripped back but effective [...]
