The inclusion of the beautiful scouse accent is reminiscent of The Beatles‘ Polythene Pam and it…

Mal Hijo – Cocainer Single Review
You know with some songs, they just seem to bypass any cerebral faculties and go straight for the solar plexus? They assault the primordial senses, and stimulate those areas that evoke those sensations which just seem to come naturally – which aren’t right or wrong – they just happen. Mal Hijo’s latest offering – released just before Xmas – is one such song, and is more pagan in temperament than the usual seasonal offerings. This…
