Join us as we get to know Val Flynn, a Brisbane artist who’s just dropped an addictive new single called ‘Stuck On Repeat’.
The track’s all about being stuck in the merry-go-round of the dating game and its musical heart beats right in the heart of the ’90s.
“This single is for all the kids who kick on at 5am and never stop skipping to the beat of their own drum,” Val says of the track.
So, check it out and get to know Val in our latest feature.
