Blerd Radio Is Back: Season 2, Episode 1
It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you…yeah, we’ve been there before, haven’t we? Well, we were gone for two whole months-encompassing most of the holiday season.

Thankfully, with the release of the new single and video “Secret”, it looks like the best version of Seal has returned. Hearing that […]
