Track: Ro Bergman releases the single ‘Animal’ – a beautiful anthem with a serious message.
There is a huge and vast distance between the Australian bushfires of early 2019 and the icy mountain tops of Austria, but Ro Bergman has produced the most elegant link in the themes of his new song ‘Animal’ and in the aching beauty of the accompanying video.
