Thoughts on Max Key’s cover of Havana?
Truly a magnificent piece, somehow so old yet still pushing new boundaries in classic Max Key fashion. His subtle commentary on the geopolitical situation in Cuba under a Trump Presidency acknowledges the complexities of an unwinding socialist economy.
The way the slightly out of time DnB is mixed into the track is a clear and utterly genius representation of his father’s untimely departure from the messy world of politics (John, we miss you.) Max, you are the key to my heart. Keep up the good work mate xxx
Marlon has asked that all further media communications to VUWSA be channelled through VUWSA’s Communications Manager.
