I agree that this sounds more like Jackson 5 than funk. If you want funk, check out the guy known as the "funkiest man alive", Rufus Thomas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp-rn-jyWfk
If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
Please leave your thoughts: love it, hate it, somewhere in between or indifferent? And I apologize for the bad dancing white guy in the video.

Thanks for all the comments so far. Yes, it is true it is not pure funk ala James Brown. I stand corrected. It isn't the opposite of funk--it has a driving beat. It is not disco. The best analogy of this particular track is Jackson 5. In fact, when I first heard this track I played "ABC" right after it. I have heard several cuts off two Vulfpeck albums, which collectively puts their overall sound in a category that to me shows influence from 70s funk and R/B--but I'm glad we are having the conversation. @tooblue Can I mark you down for don't like it? @tpreaves I accept your assessment that it isn't funk. But do you like it? @jriggy Like it? Hate it? Indifferent? @onhwy61 Thanks for listening. The bass player is very good. From the other tracks I have heard he is the best musician of the bunch. Like it? Not like it? @everest_audio Thanks for the link and observation.This links I think confirms your insight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7796-au8U Do you like it? |
Don’t quite “hate” it; but close. I get the comparison to The J5, but not as good. Cute, but very lightweight and bubble-gummy stuff. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7796-au8U |
