Watch Live on Facebook OR CLICK LISTEN in LINKTREE! #wmnf #Music #communityradio Next up on our Tropical Heatwave Artist Spotlight: Divine AF “These are truly poets of the soul, and masters of the groove. “This Side of Desire” is the funky, rocky, soulful, bluesy album that I’d say a lot of people have been wanting for a long time. It really fills a void in what is today’s music. The variety of genres, rhythms, arrangements, tempos, and vocal stylings keep the listener rapt with attention and tells you that you are entering very special, privileged territory. In addition, the lyrics are great, and so it becomes a sort of a battle to choose between focusing on the words, the music, or the downright stunning vocal performances.”– tunedloud.com CLICK EVENTS IN LINKTREE FOR TICKETS! 🚨 Special Show Alert! 🚨 Tune in this Friday at 10am for a Special interview with Andrew Warren!
