Song of the Day: 30/70 – Tastes Like Freedom
The irrepressible 30/70 return to Rhythm Section International with a hot and heavy surprise single, Tastes Like Freedom 9 minutes long free-floating jazz-funk. It’s a blissful, lively roller as much as it’s a nostalgia-drenched neo-soul love song. Emotive, intimate, and provoking with radical sensuality provided by Allysha Joy vocal. And amazing musicianship from the band with Ziggy Zeitgeist’s broken beat-leaning hats and Josh Kelly’s 90’s film noir-esc saxophone coalesce to throw the mood downtown. As always, the band go deep... Still, it hits a steppy tempo perfectly poised for the summer dancefloor.
Listen to 30/70 new single Tastes Like Freedom:
Over the last few years, 30/70 have become something of a supergroup: with Allysha Joy, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Josh Kelly and Matthew Hayes all soaring as solo artists and bandleaders. Individual talents aside, there’s nothing quite like the 30/70 collective united as one unstoppable force; and the synergy is palpable in this tantalizing tour-de-force.
