Radio Radio are known for rapping in Acadian French, but now the duo have created their first all-English album. Entitled Light the Sky, it will be out on February 19 through Bonsound.
Light the Sky features beats from Shash'U, DJ Champion, J.u.D. and Alex McMahon, while hip-hop singer Leaf makes a guest appearance on the track "Solo Dance Party." According to a press release, "The energy is palpable on this joyful album."
