With the recent release of sophomore album Prime Mover, it looks like that’s exactly what you’re gonna be doing on the night! The new album holds 17 new M.O.R.P.H. originals, all promising to bring the same buzz as his debutPurple Audio, which delivered hit singles such as ‘Walk The Edge’, ‘An Angel’s Love’, ‘Turn It On’, and ‘Sunset Boulevard’.
