Summe Love was written by Michael Jameson and produced by Danny Saber and Damien Reilly and features the incredible vocal power of Andrea Marr.

As Damien says: “ Andrea is a power house of Soul. The song has a retro throw back vibe and pays homage to the Isley Brothers and that early 1970's funk sound. The track would be right at home on an episode of Starsky and Hutch or SWAT. Danny went to town with his great guitar work earning the nick name during the sessions of “ Danny Isley “. We have a lot of interest in the track from radio and we will be doing all we can to land some great license placements. The song was added to the Planet Blue Pictures + ICM Partners catalogues for film and TV placements. This is just the start of this great collaboration and we have several more songs on the way for 2015 with Andrea doing what she does best “
