Zeus X Crona - 'Bad Habits' ft: Enrosa
Story behind the track : "Bad Habits’ narrates the story of a girl who is tired of being in a relationship. Even though she is deeply in love, she wants to leave the guy as she’s impatient and distressed of the relationship, but can’t because the guy has become her bad habit., “Bad Habits is a very special track for us. The song is a dark and emotional track which tells the story of a relationship between a guy and a girl. We wanted to capture the emotional energy and intensity that we experience when we decide to walk away from something that was a significant part of our lives. With this track, we wanted to frame that type of energy in a positive way and there’s nothing but intense, feel-good energy on this track, with crispy clean sound design” - Zeus X Cron#zeusxcrona #badhabits #enrosa #vai.not #jeeni #music #musicians #independent #indiemusic #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicvideo #animation #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans #earn #pay #paid #ethical #honest #fair
