AKA Block Blends Neo-Soul and Reflection in the Captivating 'Ring Around Her Finger'
Picture a rhythm that slips into your consciousness like a forgotten dream resurfacing, the single “Ring Around Her Finger” by Dutch artist AKA Block ensnares attention from the very first chord. This chill neo-soul and reggae blend from the Netherlands is a sonic tapestry that's nearly impossible to bypass.
