The bass of the song remind me of Londonbeat and the house/dance music of the 1990s. The muted staccato of vocals in the first few bars before the chords get drawn out are definitively catchy.

Tune of the Tuesday: “People’s Champ” – Arkells
The funk. The tempo. The mastering of the vocal tracks. But the lyrics above all else! Love “People’s Champ” by Arkells!
Tune of the Tuesday: “You Matter To Me” – Carrie Hope Fletcher featuring Oliver Ormson
This version of the song highlights the vocals of each singer so beautifully! I like the fact that the instrumental tracks are kept fairly sparse, mixed so that they support the voices that are strong in sentiment. The moment when the blend of harmonies begins… exquisite!
Tune of the Tuesday: “Blue Eyes” – Scary Pockets cover featuring Cary Brothers
I love Cary Brothers’ music. “Blue Eyes”, from the soundtrack for the movie “Garden State” was exquisite on its own. But when it comes as a funky cover by Scary Pockets featuring Cary Brothers himself?! Somehow, the song gets that much better. And funkier. Which is a good thing on an already great thing. Love this version, hoping to buy a copy of it sometime soon. One can always hope… which I am!
Tune of the Tuesday: “New Rules x Are You That Somebody?” – Pentatonix
I love a cappella. Hearing the purity of tone, when vocal harmonies blend effortlessly… that is something I really appreciate. When a group like Pentatonix takes the art of a cappella to another level, amazing things happen! I love this cover/mash-up because of the mix of a current hit Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” with one of the old-school hits of back in my day, Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody”.
Tune of the Tuesday: “Pretty Pimpin” – Kurt Vile
Prior to a Kim Churchill show, the sound person was playing so many tracks from Kurt Vile’s 2015 album that after shazamming them all, I had to buy the whole album. This track is particularly catchy.
Tune of the Tuesday: “Be More Kind” – Frank Turner
Because not only does the world always need more kindness… the lyrics and chords just make this song so much more! Glad for new Frank Turner music, can’t wait until the whole album is released!
Tune of the Tuesday: “Want You Back” – 5 Seconds of Summer
Enjoying the evolution of sound from 5SOS, particularly the addition of keys, which goes a bit more pop than past albums but is still a song you can easily see performed by the band themselves, with instruments live as opposed to singing relegated to a backing instrumental production track.
Belated Tune of the Tuesday: “Dearly Departed” – Shakey Graves
This song just gets better when performed live!
Tune of the Tuesday: “Find You” – Nick Jonas
I bought this song off of iTunes not really knowing who the song was by. It was the intro of sparse guitar chords that drew me in. To have the song evolve into a melodic dance rhythm with the guitar tying everything together, it’s a song that is hard to get out of one’s mind once you’ve heard it a few times. Such as it is for me, in any case. I can’t say that I know all the lyrics per se, but I’ve now come to associate those particular guitar chords played at that specific tempo as an introduction to this song.
