Joesef - Does It Make You Feel Good? The recently released track from the EP of the same title, available to buy in all the usual places.  A well produced track with some nice brass running through it. Love the video too, shot by Molly Burdett of Spindle Films.  Has a lovely 'slice of life' feel to it, with some Ken Loach vibes too.#joesef #jeeni #music #musician #joesef #independent #soulmusic #nujazzmusic #brass #trumpet #singersongwriter #musicvideo #sliceoflife #ep #kenloach #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans #earn #pay #paid #ethical #honest #fair
