A fresh single release from Raymond Castronovo of Streetwise, delivers a bright and very energetic, addictive, and unbelievably danceable, pop-coated nu-disco style track. The most brilliant part about this entire thing is the way that it brings together those vintage disco vibes and still manages to bring a current feel to everything.
Right off the bat, you have brilliant, classic strings giving you addictive melodies and horns bringing in bursts of classic aesthetic, all going along with that outstanding beat, and it all feels so authentic that you just can't turn away from it.
The whole thing is laced with hooks. There are catchy little melodies and hooks throughout this entire track, mostly done instrumentally.
The song has a powerhouse chorus, and the vocals are absolutely thriving throughout this entire thing, but I also do feel like it's the way the whole track comes together that really makes it work and feel so particular.
This is a single that breeds a wonderful aesthetic and that energy is insanely infectious. You are automatically immersed in this track, especially because it showcases such a natural knack for being able to almost recreate this mid-70s disco soundscape so incredibly well.
I feel like that's one of the most impressive things about it. It's a song that feels like it was released during that time, only with this new amazing production.
The whole track features lines about doing a dance; it's got clapping, and so much about it that gets you, not just into the groove, but to be a part of the song itself.
Back in that day, the 70s and even early '80s, there were all kinds of songs that had dances to go along with them. The song would feature lyrics about a dance that went with it.
That kind of thing doesn't really happen anymore and hasn't for quite some time, but this track sort of brings that back, which also shows even deeper detail into being able to create this vintage aesthetic.
The song is called "The Touch", and it's very vibrant. The performances, instrumentally and vocally, are all vivacious, colorful, packed with flavor, dripping with character, and it's just bursting with this energy that you grab onto and sort of take with you for the rest of the day.
This is the song that you play in the car, and you start shaking your butt in your seat. If you're at home, move the couch back, because you're going to be dancing around the living room in 2 seconds flat.
This is the song that will get your body moving. There's no other way to put it.
There are saxophone solos, transitions to higher registers, and the whole nine.
There are all of these brilliant elements that really were much more prominent during the 70s and '80s that this song features, and it does it smoothly.
All the transitions, the changes, the little details that make it so authentic, are completely seamless.
That this track is upbeat is an understatement.
Listening to this track first thing in the morning will set the tone for the rest of the day. You'll be completely unstoppable.
It is spirited and full-bodied, lush, addictive, and packed with electric energy that you just don't want to let go of.
It's been a long time since I've heard a song quite this fun, and also, again, able to capture this old school soundscape in an almost flawless manner.
The performances are all through the roof; everything about this is completely nailed, and you definitely don't want to miss it.
The company music video is also super fun. It features some great choreography, people of all ages getting down with the jive, and just having a good time.
That's what this whole thing is really about. Music is supposed to be fun. It's supposed to make you feel good. Well, songs like this are anyway. This is a reminder of how music can lift you up, make you move, and hit with a unique gusto that you carry with you after it's over.
All the instrumentation throughout this track complements each other. Everyone is so on the same page, it's almost unreal.
Don't listen to this song at a low volume. This is meant to be turned up, and you'll be singing and dancing along with it before you know it.
Absolutely check this track out, especially if you are into disco, but also if you're into pop, dance pop, all of that stuff. This is just a big, bright, colorful piece of work that grabs hold of you and doesn't let go.
So, put your dancing shoes on, and get ready to get down with "The Touch".
