Where We Are - Curtis Harding
from the single Where We Are (2018)
Some of the best music being created in this decade has a retro-soul vibe. Beyond the incredible stable of talent that has recorded for Daptone Records in Brooklyn, I am even more enraptured with those who manage to a modern sheen on that 60s should vibe.
My favorites include Michael Kiwanuka, Leon Bridges, and Curtis Harding. Their songs stir my soul.
On Curtis Harding's latest single, Where We Are, a tight drum beat couples with a simple-yet-tension-filled bass groove to create the foundation for one of the year's best songs.
There are swirling keyboards and synthesizers, violins that give a theatrical - 70s movie soundtrack - like quality, and even a dynamite flute solo. Above this is a commanding vocal performance by Curtis Harding. There are times when I imagine Bill Withers singing this song.
At over seven-and-a-half minutes, this song contains an epic quality. It is grand, stirring, and timeless.
Curtis Harding is the real deal my friends. I recommend that you get familiar with him.
