** Exclusive Preview ** Daddy Funk Records give us the first vocal anthem of the new year with “Vendetta” by Yohann Levems, a soulful yet infectious production featuring deeply felt vocals by songstress Donna Hidalgo and jazzy keys over a funked-up smoothly stompin’ backdrop. The remixes are courtesy of Colin Sales, Dolls Combers, Carlos Vargas and Seb Skalksi all adding their own distinct touch to the track, keeping the vibe soulful from beginning to the end – it is next to impossible to pick a favorite mix as the whole package is pure quality.
