Now this is an interesting one, very jazzy, and sophisticated.
I love jazzy and sophisticated.
In a listening post that sat comfortably among folk songs, hip hop and a full blown concerto this just testifies to the taste of the team and the diversity of what comes through. It makes it hard to choose your favourite track each time, but thankfully I’m not alone in this mammoth task.
The intro pans from left to right, giving me a dizzying experience. This track is packed full of horns, a subby bass, a Rhodes piano, percussion. I could imagine this playing at Ronnie Scott’s on a late night session.
We get treated to strings later on in the track – What the hell am I listening to here?????
There’s a spoken word section in this, advising us to find our tribe, which is appropriate for what FOTN is – a collective of like minded souls, who have connected and evolved over the years. This is telling me what I already know and I love it.
This track gets my chef’s kiss.
Lewis Daniel refers to himself as a black nerd (I hear you!), he’s had THE NOD from Tom, he’s also part of the House Gospel Choir, an in demand musician…
I’m not surprised.
