Sona – Man In The Mirror

Sona – Man In The Mirror / 2007 Imperial / 4 Tracks / http://www.imperial-recordz.com / I had no idea who Sona was before “Man In The Mirror”, but a very nineties sound starts off “Dreams”, the first of a double single captured on this CD. “Dream” shows that Sona has a Tupac like style, while the instrumentation captured as the backing beat for this track really continues this comparison.

Going big on their masterful debut AURORA with irresistible hooks, incredible lyrics and towering riffs, every song hits hard and lingers long.
