“Live in This Moment” – A Love Song by Kakou

It is not every day that we come across a song that has so much back story and tugs at your heart strings. "Live in This Moment" is such a song. A debut song by London-based Kakou hits all the right notes. It is a serene love song that celebrates love between two people. It comes as no surprise that it was selected for inclusion on the Ballers (Season 2, Episode 2) - a hit American TV show - sound track. It will resonate with many hearts across the world. We look forward to more music from Kakou.
