Redbone

A sophisticated pivot into disco-flecked funk and Philly soul. Redbone trades the swamp for the city lights with warm, mid-tempo grooves and lush vocal harmonies.

It's Redbone trading the swamp for the disco, and it's way smoother than you'd expect.

A sophisticated and smooth urban groove that masks a sense of professional resilience.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the title track's hypnotic, circular bassline that sets the album's sophisticated pace.
The unexpected Philly-soul vocal arrangements on 'Give Our Love Another Try' that showcase the Linda Creed influence.
The locked-in, percussive breakdown during 'Funky Silk' where the band's indigenous rhythmic roots peek through the disco polish.
