Why do we like this?

While we're on that female buzz, I'd love to introduce the empowering second single from Haula.

After her seductive debut "Darkest Hour" last year, the Ugandan born, UK based singer/songwriter has started 2016 off with a strong follow-up. "Freedom" showcases her arrestingly deep, soulful vocal alongside honest, raw songwriting.

This, married with dynamic production and swirling ambience, creates what I see a as a solid war cry -- very much like a modern take on the old protest and/or gospel songs, utilizing call and response, a rumbling, multilayered backing harmony and simple, solid messaging.

Follow Haula on SoundCloud to keep up to date with new releases.
