Without funk, what’s the point? Sure, music can translate feelings that range infinitely, but let’s be honest. Swing can get you moving one way, EDM can get you moving another, but that timeless soul that is injected into every note in a funk bassline is worth that bass’s weight in gold. T-Bow brings not only the bassline funk, but a trusting vocal, plucky guitars and even some Miami-flavored extras after a certain length of the new track The One.
These keys and brass parts bring a completely different life to the party, but the beat doesn’t skip and nothing can stop the swagger of those soulful instrumental loops. This music embraces life and love and good times. T-Bow may not have a powerful delivery like some singers of old, but he has the tone set and can make you move while performing in a way that is unreservedly intimate. This helps him stand out in a way that will have you requesting The One on every dancefloor you touch, from Miami to the ends of the Earth. If you need something to help you feel good with a splash of different styles over soul, this song is The One.
