Whilst perhaps not the leading tastemaker in the music industry, it’s sort of assumed that whatever Bella Hadid is listening to is as stylish and icy cool as the supermodel herself. And, Australian duo CVIRO & GXNXVS can certainly claim those descriptors after Hadid played their music to millions of followers on one of her social media channels.

We wanted a high-energy bop. It’s a good stepping stone into the rest of the project, but we come out with a bang.”Head below to watch the vintage-inspired video for “Nasty” for yourself, right now…
