It also sees both members taking on singing duties, as well as keyboards, guitar, bass guitar, drums and saxophone.“The city lights bestow a unique magic on everyone – the beautiful and the grotesque, the angels and the devils – shining and seductive, one and all… Who wants to love you and who wants to destroy you?” they said of the new single.
