Music Without Labels' are ready to release the much anticipated follow up to David Lyn's 2024 album 'The World I Hear (Essence of Life)' with 'Empathy' and you can only feel it!
Not exactly hot on the heals of 'The World I Hear (Essence Of Life) (see review HERE), David Lyn now presents his new album 'Empathy (You Can Only Feel It)'.

The leader of Music Without Labels sets the tone for the album as music for the mind, the body and the dance floor as the respective vocals of Davoice on the Lyn and Bangs composition 'We Rise' and Shamrock Guitor on the David Lyn penned African Jazz Music blend and weave with spoken word, bass, percussion, saxophone and woodwind duduk.
