Our Favorite Track

“High on Love,” is an infectious eighties inspired tune that is catchy, hook-laden scrumptiousness. Its what is best about solid songwriting, memorable lyrics that stay with you long after the track is over, on this tune the companion video makes the song even more memorable. Escaping the planet and coasting through the stars in a cherry-red Tesla Roadster. By coincidence Tesla chief Elon Musk plans to send his cherry-red Roadster – to Mars, the Red Planet, maybe “High on Love,” could be his theme song for the trip.
