TEST SPINS | Dayglow Brings More Sunshine on Harmony House

From the synths to the lyrics, the whole album is drenched in the welcoming, nostalgic vibe of an old sitcom.

It’s hard to toss an old mindset in a dustbin and sweep it away. LAROI has gone through the vicissitudes of life in a short 17 year span.
