13 Seconds To Love
A DJ/producer from Malaysia once told the band that he can tell whether a song will be a hit within the first thirteen seconds. This stuck with the band and carried over to the writing of their third album. Kjwan decided to make an album with Love as the common theme. This is how Kjwan came up with 13 Seconds To Love.
