Latest Single
Slow Hand Clap
Slow Hand Claip is a retro inspired dance track with a thumping back beat, driving synth bass line, and plenty of techno ear candy.
The song features vocals by guest artist and outstanding country singer April Waller who joins CBWB’s Shari Lynn for a Bananarama-esque duet. “We greatly underutilize the tremendous talents of both singers,” laments Todd Douglas. “But the song felt like it needed simple, sing-along vocal lines to compliment the busier backing track.”
