Music is best when it is a collaborative affair. Better still when it features artists garnered from further flung genres and even geography. Indeed, that is the best way to expand creative vision, naturally evolve the scope of the piece, and ensure that music heads into a bright new future.
And if you want to know what that might sound like, give “In the Air,” the new one from *Brett Schieber” a spin. The effortlessly funky Schieber lays down some cool, Latin-infused grooves, all infectious bass lines and soulful guitar licks, which on its own would be enough to ensure a more than positive response from the listener, who, if they possess even the most rudimentary pair of ears will be boogying around the room right from the off anyway.
But the icing on the cake is the vocals that he adds. First of all Toronto’s Témi brings us a sassy and sweet soul sound before RakJay, a UK-based producer/rapper, offers up deft and dexterous world salvos. The whole song being proof that three musical heads are better than one.
Not only a great song, a cross-genre musical journey, but also a great example of the world becoming a smaller place through collaboration.
