It's been a while, hasn't it? Again, they're like busses because this is update one of three for the day!
First up it's Basement Jaxx with their new single "What A Difference Your Love Makes."
I was lucky enough to hear this track a few days before it came out at a sold out gig at Somerset house in London. I'd been wanting to see Basement Jaxx live for a few years and hot damn was it worth the wait. Bright costumes, amusing antics from the singers, a ballet dancer and a giant robot and a non-stop 90 minutes of feel good tunes came together to make one of the most fun live shows I've ever seen. The show was live streamed around the globe and one of the members of Basement Jaxx made numerous shout outs to various countries before a song about unity and power - It was pure FUN but felt like it had a really great underlying message, which I think might feature quite a bit in their upcoming album. I really hope I can bag a ticket for their next tour in England which is in December this year.
Basement Jaxx have appeared on TISFWO! before and like I said then, this track is totally different from Back 2 The Wild and features a new singer but you can still just tell it's a Jaxx track.
The song starts with some vocals and piano stabs and quickly starts building with some claps into the "OOOOH WOOOOOAHHHHH!" that makes this song feel so energetic and happy! It's not particularly complex sounding but it's just so exuberant that it makes you feel great! The synth/piano stabs and light vocals, combined with that recurring, exultant shout make this track feel perfect for a summer track.
Soundtrack to: Running holding hands.
