[LISTEN] Aquilo - Good Girl

After a smattering of ambient-pop tracks and some high profile support slots, it's no wonder that Aquilo's latest single is more or less an upbeat affair. They've kept some elements from their last EP here, with the organs and airy vocals staying put and with some very RnB style drum beats and some stunning licks of bass for good measure. They've not forgotten the guitars here, you can hear them wallowing away in the background in the second half of the track, they're out of their comfort-zone here but it definitely pays off!

This stunning track could be Aquilo's best yet - and the single artwork is top notch too!
