HUNTER SIEGEL PREMIERES NEW SONG “LET ME LOVE YOU RIGHT FEAT. KAI”

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Kai’s work. She has such pain to her voice I’ve always thought it would be the perfect fit for me musically. We’ve talked about doing a song together for a while and finally after going through a lot of ideas we came together on LMLYR and Big Beat jumped on the single as soon as they heard it.
