We are excited to present Wake up! to you.
ABFAB has recently released their new great summer track, ‘Wake Up’!
“Wake Up” is a hard-hitting rock anthem about becoming acutely aware of your surroundings, stepping up, and truly living in the moment because, as the lyrics proclaim, you only get one life – so live it!
The song, originally penned by Lisa, draws inspiration from life’s tough knocks. It has been meticulously edited and arranged into its final form through a collaborative effort between Lisa, Sean, and their good friend, the renowned Dutch producer Brad Grobler (also known for his work with Sean in the band Shout!).
This Release marks a significant milestone for ABFAB Duo, a hard-hitting and compelling blend of raw energy and insightful lyricism.
