kummer13 июля 2022 г.If you’re dealing with Duran Duran you’re talking about commercial records, [and] you can go back and say we need a couple of hits on this.

“When I first started my voice was terrible,” Bush said. “But the voice is an instrument and the only way to improve it is to practise. ”
