January 2021 ~ Life Sounds Better To Music

January 2021 ~ Life Sounds Better To Music, and here we are needing music even more as we go into a New Year with our plans still overshadowed by that damn virus. I always used to say “I’m a glass half-full kind of guy “- but it’s better than that. Music always tops me up a bit higher. January is always a long had month – this year even more-so. So thank goodness for music and there is so much out there.

Doing the Fuerte Fine Guys Real Beach Party with Gary continues to bring me joy. As I finish this blog post on 31st January show 8 is due to go to air and we are beginning to find some kind of rhythm. If you aren’t listening to the shows PLEASE CLICK HERE to go to our Fuerte Fine Guys page for all the information you need. Please give it a like and tell your friends.

Here are a few tracks that have come across my radar this month.

Cedric Gervais, Franklin feat. Nile Rodgers ~ Everybody Dance

Cedric Gervais has teamed up with the legendary Nile Rodgers and rising talent Franklin to unveil a reworking of the CHIC 1978 iconic dance smash hit ‘Everybody Dance’. The new version includes brand new re-recorded guitar parts from the three-time Grammy award winner and global icon Nile Rodgers. The result is a beacon of positivity: a track that provides a moment of joyous celebration to help bring people together at the end of a bleak year.

London Grammar ~ Lose Your Head

Nottingham 3 piece London Grammar have a new album, ‘Californian Soil’, due on 9th April. I think this is the second single released ahead of that launch, featuring Hannah Reid on vocals “Lose Your Head” is a great return to form.

Shaun Escoffery ~ Days Like These ~ Booker T Kings of Soul Vocal Mix

Shaun Escoffery has a fantastic voice. This track originally comes from 2002. Gary picked this 2021 Booker T Kings of Soul remix for this week’s show. I’ve got to be honest, I wasn’t convinced at first but it’s grown on me. So here is the new version and the original, so let me know which you prefer.
