The former Friends‘ singer Samantha Urbani dropped a solo song on Soundcloud last week and it’s a cracker.
Urbani has been dating and working with Dev Hynes, on his Blood Orange project . For her first debut track, Hynes helps out on production along with Matt Molnar and Sam Mehran.
‘1 2 3 4’ has large glass-shattering eighties production and Urbani turns in a Madonna of that era style vocal. I wish all pop music still sounded like this sometimes.
