Moonchild - Back to Me

There are a few bands that you can count on when you just need to groove. Moonchild is one of them. It doesn't matter which song you throw on, you are going to quickly fall into the groove and be transported to a smoky club where the dress code is dapper and the guys and dolls are swanky.  Amber's vocals never cease to amaze me and she does a killer job channeling funk that is far older than she is.  I just want to lay back and let their music wash away the grime of my day and relax. They are another situation where you don't need a label or any of that to create really great music.  You just want to bob your head and float along.

Make sure you read up on two of their other singles so that you can be properly inducted into the cult of Moonchild.  They are a group to watch out for.  I think I would love to see them touring with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.  I think that would be a very cool and funky double bill.

Moonchild - Gone

Digging back into New Jack Swing and further, Moonchild has released a track that is as experimental as it is funky. With a smooth flowing rap adding another level of flavor to this already jam-packed track, there is no way you can't nod your head to this track. There isn't a square inch of this track that isn't just full, almost to the point of overflowing. My only issue is that the vocals can feel a bit trampled on in places. I think this was supposed to be the case and that's what gives this track the experimental aspect that challenges conventions. Check em out on FaceBook and on their Youtube channel.

Moonchild - Be Free

In what could be one of the most sultry of slow jamz I have heard in a minute, Los Angels trio, Moonchild step up and let you know they aren't taking prisoners on this track.  You will submit to their melodic brand of tripped out jazz funkiness and you will get on down.  Amber's vocals are inspired and they are dripping with so much sex appeal.  Not that slutty sex like you get from a dirty glittered out Ke$ha (you know I love my Ke-dollar sign- ha) but more vibing and getting on with the get down like classic sex appeal.  Feminine power and Barry White sex appeal.  The stuff you can't buy in a store.

When the rainstick is turned over, you know just how this is gonna go. Then you get the horns and the authentic hand claps and it's just time to give it up and let them have their way with you, as silky and smooth as it will be. The probably won't call tomorrow but you don't care and nor should you.  This track is just good old fashioned soul music that makes you feel warm all over and I for one am a fan.  I have an amazing friend to thank for turning me on to this, Scott Fernandez (who is also an amazing musician and you should totally fall in love with him too)
