    The vocal range required to sing this song is very wide! So nice to see Akasha taking the lead, and she's absolutely the right choice for this one. I saw Kim Wilde a few years ago, and her niece (the backing singer) stole the show. Akasha seems to have the same lively stage presence, so I hope we'll see more of her in future videos.

Obviously all good singers have to be backed up by a great band and the usual high standards are here in spades, so well done to everyone on another awesome video and onto the next.

That is how good Darren has become. And Darren you are fortunate to be surrounded by an incredible cast of musical talents….
