about

Dutch electro boogie dons Kraak & Smaak drop the debut single from their upcoming album - Juicy Fruit, and what better way to announce their return than this outstanding collaboration with Grammy-nominated soul royalty - Mayer Hawthorne.

It’s a true meeting of minds which is exactly what you’d expect with these two acts and their reputations. ‘I Don’t Know Why’ sees Kraak & Smaak throw down the gauntlet in a popping boogie track with the Tuxedo frontman delivering his signature sweet and catchy soul melodies over the top.
