Leslie Odom Jr shared with us his catchy song “Go Crazy,” and to be honest with you, this song is one of the most beautiful songs that we have discovered on Cheers To The Vikings. We have enjoyed listening to this song until the last second, the chorus is so beautiful and the lyrics are original and well written. The atmosphere of this song is unique and wonderful and the production choices are very professional. Leslie’s voice is rich and charming and his vocal performance is catchy and professional. “Go Crazy” was definitely a great experience for our team.
