Haleema Khan — Sat, 30 Jan 2016 02:10:13 +0000

As part of his “GLAM WAVE”, XO artist Derek Wise returns to the masses with 3 brand new tracks as well as a very clean music video for his previous record “RUNNIN’ IT. Directed by Zac Facts who successfully captures the ghostly feel of the track making the cinematic clip an equally brooding experience. Derek Wise keeps it super glamorous on his 3 new songs: “Free Up” is an ambient track, Derek’s melodic approach vocally floats across the production by Urs Truli whilst Tommy Kruise-produced track “Glam” serves as the glam anthem and “Opinions” is dedicated to rising above the opinions of others on which Wise gets personal and addresses real life ups and downs whilst giving advise to his fans and listeners. Watch the video above and stream the 3 new tracks after the jump.
