Indeed, the duo — made of the vocalist Frank Kadillac and drummer Adrian Morris — returns this fall with an idyllic alt-pop single, filled with passion and catchy strings, entitled “Don’t Go hating Me Now”. The song is the type of sonic work that can become a hit overnight
The songwriting style, crafted with emotion and vulnerability portrays the lost of icons or even loved ones due to drug abuse. Mapping out the vision behind the lyrics, Kadillac confides:
“I was on my third article in one day reading about an extremely talented person passing away due to an addiction.
