IM HERO 10
The new songs on IM HERO 10 range widely: a drinking-and-drumming gathering song full of traditional flavour, a dance track, a café daydream, and a breathless trip to New York. Between them sit two gentler songs about wishing someone well and getting through an ordinary day. The vocabulary mixes festive words with the small, practical language of commuting, coffee and quiet relief.
