"But one thing I know for sure, you turn my sixes to nines"
Rationale will perform "6's to 9's" in Seychelles with American musician, Big Wild.
6's to 9's is powerful ballad that infuses the elements of 80's/90's into the modern sounds. A task in which it succeeds really well. 6's to 9's describes how a person’s life turns upside down, from gloom to near-perfection when he/she meets someone that fits their life, their personality like a glove. With Rationales dulcet vocals and Big Wilds heart warming production, this songs takes you on rollercoaster of happy feelings.
