Today sees the official release of a brand new music video GAME OF LOVE from our new album, SOUL SAFARI. GAME OF LOVE was written as a sketch by Raiven in February 2016 at Popsicle Studios, after the studio invested in a brand new microphone which needed to be tested.

Terminally ill people or those grieving a break up or the loss of a loved one often experience emotions that are difficult to grasp, and the 5 stages […]
