Dua Saleh’s “Chosen” to be one of our Leaders of the New Cool

To showcase and highlight the music we enjoy the most, we endeavor to spotlight the tracks and artists that caught our attention.  This track, “Chosen” by Dua Saleh is one of those tracks.  Dua Saleh has a knack for giving us funky grooves with a unique vibe.  Earlier she gave us “Body Cast” which put her on our radar to keep an ear on.  With these two tracks alone we feel it worthy to dub her one of our Leaders of the New Cool. #LONC You can chart the track here on LitJointz Radio.
