Description
MERMAID'S TAILS is a powerful mid-tempo track with deep soul flavor, psyche influences and a strong hip-hop feel. The song takes listeners through the dreamy longings of perfect love. The melody and lyrics are both poetic and trivial. The track fuses fantasy and reality in a psyche soul vibe. The bass is heavy and deep, the drums sound like a hip hop sample, while the Rhodes and guitars are rich. Together with the fuzz counter vocals and the flute improvisations, they form the perfect music for Rachel Yarabou's intense yet very gentle voice.
KICK OFF THE ROAD is an uptempo song with bluesy verses, a strong, driving beat and a heavy, pounding bass. They lead us to the funky chorus full of organ hits and drum breaks. The band's Stax feel mixes with the influences of James Brown right up to the bridge, which propels the song into a sublime, psychedelic bracket. In this song, Rachel Yarabou sings the story of a girl who wants to go her own way and prefers to leave the road until she reaches her destination. Christelle Amoussou, the band's songwriter, gives us another soul anthem for the freedom and emancipation of women.
