[@evil_in_your_closet]

I don't even know who Dua Lipa is, but i LOVED this video! Gave me a few ideas to try and everything was superwell explained! With the TAL JunoSynth and the Chorus, you used some of my fav free PlugIns there! What i'd love to see next? Well, either something more Rock / Metal oriented OR some Retrowave and Synthwave! Thanks for reading, and keep rocking! (or funking?)

[@LANDRmusic]

Amazing comment! We'll definitely keep those suggestions in mind. Thanks for letting us know, and for the kind words.

Landr should definitely take more advantage of Izzy's persona and give her a raise. Actually watching with intent for once.

[@LANDRmusic]

Oh we have her booked solid through to 2030!
