After an impressive debut year, New Zealand born, Australian based future-soul singer Wallace has just released another supremely soulful track. "Negroni Eyes" was produced by Dave Rodriguez AKA Godriguez, who slices up old jazz standards to make new beats. The lure of this sort of this production technique appealed to the Jazz nerd within Wallace. After asking Godriguez to have a play around with one of her favourite instrumental jazz tunes, Nardis by Miles Davis, Negroni Eyes was born.

"The lyric imagery in Negroni Eyes was inspired by a Frida Kahlo quote I saw scrawled in chalk on the wall of a Mexican restaurant in Wellington, NZ", says Wallace.

 "I drank to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim."

"My mind conjured up an image of a person knee-deep, wading through alcohol inside their own brain, searching for the cause of the flood all the while knowing that they, themselves are to blame. I guess in a way it's an ode to vices and their ability to mask problems."
