Debuting A Cryptic Romance-As-Addiction Anthem
“When we first demoed Novocaine we did it with a male vocal and it just felt like something was missing. Kelsey came in and we were messing around with songs and I just asked her to sing the first line, “I know our love is a loaded gun, if I’m afraid to hold it where is the fun?” And I knew she was meant to CRUSH this song, which she did. I’m honored to be a part of her journey.” — Don Miggs is a singer, songwriter,
and record producer who has worked with Mick Fleetwood and Tower of Power.
