'Never Settle Down' is taken from Qü's acclaimed SAMA Nominated solo album 'Reprise on 2nd Avenue'.

Tight as the seams the LP brims with nuanced compositions, intricate production, and immaculate presentation.

Qű - Never Settle Down

Taken to No.1 by the iconic Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat) in 1984 'Smalltown Boy' represented a spirit of freedom and liberation, both of which rising South African pop artist Aidan Fraser articulates with relative aplomb. Matching Somerville’s piercing falsetto Fraser embodies an arresting, future forward reinterpretation that ameliorates in dynamic range. 

'Smalltown Boy' is produced, mixed and arranged by Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf / MaxX & Love / Qü).
