Today funk-soul band BIG TASTY releases their third studio single ‘HOW I MISS YOU’.
With their track "Diamond Eyed" reaching impressive heights on the Radioscope Hot Singles chart, "HOW I MISS YOU" is expected to be another success. This nostalgic love song showcases the band's ability to blend classic Soul-disco vibes with their own unique Aotearoa sound.
Engineered by Scott Seabright, Hugh Ozumba [UnchainedXL Studios], Emily Wheatcroft-Snape and Olly Harmer [The Lab Studios], the song also features backing vocals by Mackensie Grace. This single sets the tone for Big Tasty's promising future.
“From the first time I heard the pre-chorus of this song, It’s been stuck in my head and I love it now as much as I did then. I’m so grateful to be the voice that gets to share it. Nothing compares to performing our songs on stage, but listening to them is pretty close. ” - OVALLE HERRERA
“We're aiming 'Big' and we're delivering 'Tasty'. I Love this band." - CHASE
