This takes a drop in tempo but maintains the same temperature, there are snare drum rolls with ghost notes as well as some sneaky percussion to keep the groove going &#8211; there are some synth pads in there as well as a warped Rhodes to begin the proceedings. Then Summer Lee Carlson\u2019s vocals come in with some pretty sweet adlibs &#8211; no tap dancing this time, but the groove certainly puts a bop in your step!<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a flute on this that gives the jazz flute thing going, one thing I&#8217;ve just noticed is that there is no bass line on this track &#8211; same with the previous single &#8220;Respectable People&#8221;, it&#8217;s not a new thing but at the same time, it&#8217;s a track at a great tempo so you&#8217;d expect it but it&#8217;s not there. When people choose to not have one they do it with good reason &#8211; Prince chose to do that on &#8220;When Doves Fly&#8221;, as well as Teddy Riley with &#8220;No Diggity&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t even notice this until when Teddy Riley spoke about the story behind &#8220;No Diggity&#8221; and then I read an interview with Prince&#8217;s Revolution bass player about a conversation they had, and it just hit me how affective it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless this still has a groove, and I can&#8217;t wait to hear what they have next.<\/p>\n<p>Summer Lee Carlson is a US expat, singer\/songwriter currently living in Cambodia and working on a number of music projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Type__TypeElement-sc-goli3j-0 cHsoWR\" data-encore-id=\"type\">Thanks to a life time of singing &amp; participating in bands &amp; duos of all genres &amp; styles, the songs are also a wide mix of everything from soul, funk, R&amp;B, blues, jazz, elements of rock, ballads, pop &amp; so much more&#8230;<\/p>\n<p data-encore-id=\"type\">\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping with their overall vibes of old school soul Summer Lee Carlson and producer Mute Speaker are back.
