Mamas Gun's new single "Joy" is a bright, warm, and rhythmic song that stands out from their sixth studio album, "DIG!" The London-based five-piece, led by singer, songwriter, and producer Andy Platts, keeps improving their unique mix of classic soul and modern songwriting with a song that feels both old and new.
"Joy," which was recorded live on analog tape, has the unmistakable beat of real musicianship. The band's organic chemistry shines through from the first groove. The buoyant basslines and keys create a sound that brings back memories of the golden age of soul while still sounding modern. Andy Platts is the heart of it all. His sweet and emotional singing makes the song something that really moves you. His strong tenor voice carries a message of strength and hope, channeling the expressive spirit that is at the heart of soul music's greatest traditions.
The band's musicianship is the perfect base. Chris Boot's heavy and fluid grooves on the drums hold the song together, and Cameron Dawson's melodic basslines move with fearless energy. Terry Lewis adds a warm, old-school guitar sound that anchors the arrangement, and Dave Oliver's dynamic control of the piano, Wurlitzer, and Hammond organ gives the song's glowing atmosphere a gospel feel.
"Joy" song is a feel-good groove, soulful textures and heartfelt spirit show that Mamas Gun is real and still loves making soul music. It's a bright celebration of being together, dancing, and the strong, simple feeling that gave it its name.
