Northern Heightz
Look At Us

Iconic

WE SAY

No soundclip. This production team (aka North Starz plus Pez Tellett) are big in the North and we've been saying for a while that they're good enough to go pan- European. Good A&R from Kevin Robinson who asked them cut this smash song, previously recorded by Serena Perez, Alice Deejay and others. Good DB Boulevard-esque animated video too. This is shaping up to be a smash and don't rule out an Alice Deejay- style hit album.
