G Flip – ‘Drummer’ Album Review

Photo Credit: Nazrin Massaro There’s one instrument that dominates the new album by Georgia Flipo (AKA G Flip) and you don’t get points for getting which one it is – it’s there in the album title, and the album art and is made obvious within the album’s first few songs.
