Its rare that I recommend the same band twice within such a short space of time. But here we are with this track Strong by SAULT from the 2020 album Untitled (Rise). Part of the two albums they released that year, the other being Untitled (Black Is ). Two stupendous albums that are musically and politically knock out.
Strong is the opening track on (Rise) and its so deceptively laid back, a seemingly effortless slick Philly Sound infused groove. Then halfway through it breaks into this heart stopping Africa Funk drum break which I find so uplifting of the spirits, its quite simply glorious. Melding back into the Philadelphia strings again by the end. Paying homage to its musical sources and ancestry whilst remaining contemporary. Stunning stuff. Enjoy.
