With New York City FC set to make their MLS bow next month, the hype is kicking up a notch with the club commissioning a brand new anthem to herald their arrival on the scene.
Cobbled together by singer-songwriter Sarah Packiam and featuring the inimitable MC Sterlin (who?), the track is called “All The Way” and features a certain David Villa on (virtually inaudible) backing vocals.
The song is due for a full release on Wednesday, though Villa – obviously proud as punch – has posted a 25-second teaser on his Twitter….
