GANGS OF KIN share funk-laden anthem ‘Cool, Calm & Collected’
Led by an infectious bass-line and unmistakable vocals, Cool, Calm & Collected arrives as a stand out offering from the great, rising GANGS OF KIN.
Born as a reminder to keep your internal focus, Cool Calm & Collected is a catchy must listen for anyone navigating today’s over stimulating world. Sharing more Joël explained:
We should all march to the beat of our own drum as we all take our time to figure out what we’re doing here. Some keep changing direction. People are quick to judge on one’s ‘success’ and as we grow up we discover that the mistakes we’ve made are just as valuable as the steps we’ve made forward. Within all the chaos, aimlessness and anxiety this is a song to cancel out the noise of outer pressure. The time of splendor comes after the drought.
This is a chant to stay cool, calm and collected.”

Oscar Lang Releases “On God” Single and Video
“My mum committed suicide when I was seven years old and for years, I really didn’t think about it too much. I think as a seven-year-old, you don’t process much really,” Oscar shares. “But things like that, you don’t realize the severity of it and what it means to you. I didn’t for ages and just got on with my life. When I went through this break-up, as much as my dad was there to help me, comfort and be there for me, all I really wanted was a hug from my mum. I really felt I missed this motherly presence in my life. In the last year, it really has dawned on me how I really miss this side of my life that I wish I could have had, having a mum around.”
