Spiral by Chok Kerong & Vanessa Fernandez
A meditation on life's joys and sorrows, the first collaborative album by producer Chok Kerong and singer-songwriter Vanessa Fernandez (aka Vandetta) is a seamless blend of rock, gospel, classic soul and hiphop.
"Spiral is the type of album that takes a few listens for one to fully appreciate its intricate compositions, and is a triumph of both artistes’ musicality."
