RUNAWAY

FOOD FOR THE SOUL is the first single from ‘AKA GOOSTAVO’, Southampton uni graduate, and South London producer and rapper, GOOSTAVO’s debut EP. Off the back of his March release RUNAWAY, FOOD FOR THE SOUL and AKA GOOSTAVO sit on the other side of a year of self discovery. Written from his third year university room, FOOD FOR THE SOUL is elevated by silky sax lines and a punchy groove, talking about a search for inspiration, a need for peace, and in essence is a love song to his car, ‘Annie the Aygo’, who regularly provided such moments.
