SINGLE REVIEW: AJ Mitchell – Unstoppable

It was only two weeks ago that AJ Mitchell dropped one of my favourite synth layered tracks of 2019. ‘Say It Again’ was a pulsating pop song that layered an atmospheric synth during the verses with a 80’s inspired production in the hook with a nostalgically groovy drum and guitar riff leading the way.  Backing…
