I Wish The Revivalists Would Put Out More Neo-Soul Like This

The Revivalists are here to help us recall those good ol' 1970s urges. They do this through their Day-Glo colorful ditty known aa "Wish I Knew You". This melody glides aloft a canvas of bright stars and won't let us surrender to reality for all the tea in China. As a whole The Revivalists sound like the galaxy they occupy isn't ours in the slightest. Rob Ingraham's saxophone add-ins make for some of the most delectable ear snacking you're likely to hear all summer. Frontman David Shaw beams radiance to the nth power because his voice gets you thinking about parties past, present, and future. Mostly, the video zeroes in on the class of 1965, the '60s being a popular let's remember era these days. David's flat out snappy and that's an attribute nice to have in anyone's bag of tricks. I'm quite taken aback by how the individual players know when to contribute their stylish ingredients to this meal. Zack Feinberg's guitar lends a firm backbone to a creature that was never all that skeletal in the first place. Big ups to George Gekas whose bass reminds you of the wispy pockets of smoke originating from your favorite BBQ joint. You know this brisket's going to leave a wide trail of appreciative drool wherever it opts to roam. I'm fond of rainbow liveliness. I am grateful for songs and artists that don't wish to remind you of how depressing the world can truly be in installments. Drumming his little ticker off, Andrew Campanelli takes his place as the functional yet not overwhelming seasoning which lends kick to The Revivalists spice rack of toothsome taste sensations. Michael Giradot is no slouch in the trumpet arena. He pours it on in sleek, wanna sit on my lap toots sexy fashion. Again, something revved up to add tingles to the shindig. The video's participants look like they're having a really wonderful experience on the whole. Does age stop them? No. Does physical limitation slow them down? Not hardly. "Wish I Knew You" blends in ideally with the likes of '70s throwbacks like KC & The Sunshine Band and Wild Cherry. Those acts let their hair hang down as well as that of everybody on the dance floor. You'd be hard pressed to locate a tempo as amenable to shuffling your feet as you can here. The chorus refrain gets plenty misty-eyed, longing for those elusive days of youth when he was majorly handsome and she turned heads wherever she went. Report to Nostalgia 101 class immediately for a briefing. The sax inspires moonlit balloon drops not necessarily because it's New Year's Eve but basically because there's a shortage of celebratory animated souls that could use some reigniting. "Wish I Knew You" symbolizes the type of gem you want to look at particularly closely to make sure the stardust it's tossing into your peepers is 100 percent genuine. No one band member tries to outdo anyone else. They created the impetus for this bash to get cracking and they're equally committed to sharing the load for cleaning up the beautiful mess as expressed in the few seconds to get that last gorgeous fade out off the ground. Summed up on a fairly fine point, The Revivalists, in this Trump overblown, highly dangerous world, have tapped us on the shoulder, shaken away the doldrums, and reminded us that somewhere on the planet the sun does still shine. "Wish I Knew You" certainly merits being turned into an affable companion for whatever evening's revelry you had in mind.
