For the track, THORN teamed up with session musicians including Francine Mabinda on vocals, Jess Porter on violin, Wolfie on guitar and Josh Banks on bass. Collectively, they’ve created an intriguing prospect. Though unapologetically rock, there’s something more to it too, with elements of jazz, blues, pop and hip hop in the mix.
THORN is certainly not for the faint-hearted but if you come to his music with an open mind and a desire to get freaky, then you’ll get a lot from Dark Soul. You can check it out below.
