Press and Reviews
“The song is the duo’s first project and introduces the two into the pop scene with a bang. Reminiscent of Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’, it’s the perfect track to sing along to while driving on the highway and a great road trip tune.”
— Alchemical Records
“From the moment the synthesizing, electric beat hits your ears, “Honey Let’s Go” entangles the listener in a world of fantasy. The lyrics immediately clue listeners into the feeling of happy nostalgia for those particularly impactful small moments with loved ones: the miniscule details you remember from big experiences that make the journey the best part of the destination.”

“I really enjoyed the drive of the beat, also thought the guitar brought the track to life, very summer and chill track. A cool beat and quite 80s vibe.”
