Social Potion

    Ultimate Music Mix is proud to present,” Social Potion”, a wonderful sounding group, when we first heard their song “Stevie” we were floored, Carmen’s voice reminded us  so much of Stevie Nicks, and with those two together it felt like we were listening to a new Captain and Tennille.

    Together they have a great vocal and sound combination that is very enjoyable, you should close your eyes as you listen to Social Potion, and remember the sweet sound as they play, because we wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see that Social Potions music being played a lot on the radio. Us here at Ultimate Music Mix can see that happening in the near future.
