Live Review: Akouo's 'Goldmine' is golden

AKOUO is back again after the magnificent futuristic funk of ‘Giving into You’ with his newest track ‘Goldmine’...

AKOUO is back again after the magnificent futuristic funk of ‘Giving Into You’ with his newest track ‘Goldmine’ and as anyone who has heard the previous single would have expected it’s nothing short of spectacular.

'Goldmine' is smoother than the upbeat and heavily funk inspired 'Giving Into You.' The track is driven by deep bass and sharp snare beats with vibrant synths accompanying Akouo's killer vocals.

By now you should all be familiar with the Australian artist but for any out of the loop Akouo hails from Tasmania and leads a double life with far more success than your typical double agent (looking at you Superman) as both a father and a beat maker. Akouo has been around for a while now but start expecting to hear his name everywhere. With both 'Giving Into You' and this newest release things are only going to get bigger and better for Akouo.
