Respect The Neighbours

He’s been on hiatus for most of 2017, but Los Angeles’ own Sunni Colón has now made his way to release a new track. The Kaytranada-produced “Little Things” is much in the vein of what we’ve come to expect from the singer, blending smooth vocals with a bouncy, mid-tempo beat. There’s no word on whether this track is part of an upcoming project or not but, for now, it’s listed on Colón’s Soundcloud as a “summer single.” Stream below.
