The enigmatic duo Mao Ra Sun link up with the UK’s leading lady Lulu James on “I Won’t Take You Back” a fusion of dreamy synths, pulsating basslines and sultry vocals. The pair remark “The instrumental of “I Won’t Take You Back” was our ode to Control era Janet Jackson slow jams, as soon as Lulu laid her vocals down it took it to a whole new level though.” We think you’ll enjoy the unique sounds of Mao Ra Sun, go ahead and give it a spin.
