Through a dreamy soundscape and catchy lyrics, Virginia To Vegas’ latest single “no excuses” reminds us to favour our hearts over our heads; laying it all out on the table expressing our true feelings for a love we fear to let go of.
Virginia To Vegas shares on the single,
“‘no excuses,” encompasses that feeling of being in love with one of your best friends. You finally tell yourself that you’re not going to continue making excuses as to why you should express how you feel, and take that leap of faith.”
