what a gorgeous cold landscape directed by george belfield to accompany kwabs' latest beautiful single which also sets up his upcoming debut album 'love + war'. i've been fawning over this uk singer/songwriters' baritone voice for the past year and its about time he crosses over to a bigger audience in 2015.

kwabs - pray for love
produced by plan b (where is he these days?), this is a dramatic sparse number that pushes kwabena's strong vocals front and center. definitely an artist already making 2014 a good music year.
