Yeah Nah Yeah Goes to Number 1 in NZ.
I love working with Capricore. They encapture something uniquely Kiwi whilst still being accessible to an international audience. In fact I think it is that unique sound that makes them so attractive, along with wonderful lyrics and of course Aidans unique and incredible vocal style. Couldn't be happier that this single got to number 1.
