and the UK’s biggest music
trend this year. I think this is
going to be a very big hit!

Serving up some
Streetfighter, Chun-Li goes
rave realness, fabulously huge
in every single way, and you

super lovely Paloma on vocal
duties. Those vocals are perfect
for fully charged high octane
summer rave-ups like this.

Richard X on production, it’s
a big old synth pop dance
floor banger.
