Shapeshifters
Lola<92>s Theme

Positiva

WE SAY

Like the first flush of love, we're yearning to spend more time with this truly uplifting tune. Our devotion has only grown since white labels appeared late last year. But competition for its affection is stiff - it's on Radio 1's B list having had across-the-board specialist support. We're actually beginning to think it's one of the finest dance records ever.
