Single of the Week:

‘Sort Of Stranger’ by The Greeting Committee & Briston Maroney

The first single from the expanded edition of The Greeting Committee’s sophomore album, Dandelion (Deluxe) lives up to the original cut of the album. The track is an evocative continuation of the sadness and longing that have already been thoroughly explored now enhanced with Maroney’s smooth-as-honey drawl.
