CREDITS

‘Your Soul is Perfect (Supreme Uniter)’ is the 2nd single from Surya Botofasina’s upcoming album and its' most dynamic. Featuring Surya’s mother Rada Botofasina on harp and vocals, ‘Your Soul is Perfect’ starts out as an understated head-nodder, but the building chords and steadily percussion eventually ignite into a surging celestial funk jam that was hidden at the centre.
