Remember Hannah Georgas? The Canadian pop/rock singer-songwriter hosted a remix contest with us earlier this year for her song, “Enemies.” Well, she was in New York City recently and stopped by our Indaba loft to record with us. We loved having her over, and wanted to share with you this beautiful acoustic version of “Enemies”.
