Louise Golbey - See how far our love can go

SoulfulBeats label head Matt Hughes drops a masterpiece with his superb interpretation of "See how far our love can go" by up and rising Louise Golbey (the original version of the song will be featured on her new album to be released this summer). Matt Hughes' 'OCD Rub' goes as deep as it gets, with sublime truly soulicious rhythms leading the way for Louise Golbey's deeply rooted vocals and the marvelous keyboard wizardry of Dan Goldman aka JD73 - in other words (and as we said before), a masterpiece.
