Secret Night Gang - How To Love (Single)
Manchester's Secret Night Gang returns with a smooth and soulful new single, "How To Love." This captivating track blends classic and modern influences, showcasing the band's unique take on love and connection in the modern age.
"How To Love" is a sonic journey that seamlessly weaves together elements of R&B, soul, and jazz, drawing inspiration from icons like Bilal, Prince, and D'Angelo. The song's lush soundscape is further elevated by the masterful touch of multi-Grammy award-winner Russell Elevado (D’Angelo, Erykah Badu) on mixing and Alex De Turk (D’Angelo, PJ Morton) on mastering.
But beyond its sonic richness, "How To Love" offers a heartfelt message about the complexities of love and the importance of human connection. Kemani Anderson's vocals deliver a poetic yet relatable message, urging listeners to embrace love in all its forms.
"For me, love is accepting the perfections and imperfections of a person or even in one's self," says Anderson. "Love is a beautiful gift... However, on the flipside, love can also bring anger and frustration... Love isn't easy but it's the best way of showing affection to the ones you care about."
