Review by Jamie Glenn Beyonce better move over because a new soul and R&B act is on her way up!

“90’s angst may have disappeared from the musical mainstream for a while, but it never left the fragile hearts and nervous minds of many of us. We don’t need a distraction – we need music that listens to us and shares our feeling of disenchantment. War Waves seemed to come out of nowhere in 2015. Their self-titled record created a modest local buzz but also reached isolated listeners all over the world who were looking for a record just like it. War Waves dropped the follow-up single ‘Horses’ in July of 2016 and it was a statement of intent. The…
