Plainro & Tiffany Hines Join For A Heartfelt Duet In “Gravity Pt. 1”
Plainro has been on my radar for a very long time. He’s an excellent musician and someone who inspires me creatively. FFD premiered one of his tracks, and I’ve written up a lot of his music as he puts everything he has into each song and project. It’s been awhile since a full length, but…
