It's the way it's been filmed. They often film different angles during different takes so there's glimpses of her playing a different solo than the one that ended up on this final recording. I studied with her at NZSM and she's a certified baaaaadass sax player.@@tinyhands7651

[@shankapa3182]

They're already there. Their catalogue is good but considering just over a year ago no one knew who they were and they're already considered NZ music royalty off the strength of their first single which is pretty remarkable when you think about it. But the musicianship speaks for itself. These guys are the real deal.
