Featured Tune: "Wake Up! (Radio Edit)" from ABFAB

reviews

A Jolt of Pure Pop-Rock Energy

ABFAB’s debut single “Wake Up!” is a rallying cry. The Cape Town duo, Lisa “MYNX” Hugo and Sean “STYX” Nunan, take their years of stage-shaking experience and channel it into a track that feels larger than life. From the very first hit, you’re pulled into a whirlwind of drums and soaring vocals that refuse to let go until the final note.

Hugo’s voice is a weapon—dynamic, fearless, and drenched in charisma—cutting through the soundscape with the kind of presence you’d expect from a seasoned rock frontwoman. Beside her, Nunan drives the song with percussive precision and raw power, laying down a pulse that feels both urgent and exhilarating. Together, they create a chemistry that crackles, as if the track were born out of the fire of their live shows.

What makes “Wake Up!” so exciting is its immediacy. It doesn’t waste time easing in; it bursts open, unapologetically alive, the kind of track that makes you want to crank the volume and let it take over your body. There’s a polish to the production, but it never dampens the raw edge—the duo strikes a balance between accessibility and grit that’s tough to master on a first release.

With “Wake Up!”, ABFAB have planted their flag firmly on the international stage. It’s a bold, defiant debut that not only showcases their individual talents but also hints at the explosive journey ahead.
