DAX - KILLSHOT 2 [Music Video Review]
Rating: 5 out of 5
“This track is meant to make you uncomfortable, because sometimes, that is the only way to shake up the neurons and make you think. The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.
That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”
