One of THE best movies I've seen in years
We've all heard about Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - how they exceed when watched anyone's expectations. Well this film is one of them......mesmerising, compelling, heart-wrenching. Absolute classic of a movie

This is the album I listen to whenever I'm feeling down. Khalid is an 18 years and so am i. It's riveting listening to an album made by someone that is the same age as me. It feels real and the songs are relatable.
