Ok guys, to kickoff the week I have this soulful number by the band Paper Tongues from Charlotte, NC. The band came about when friends from different musical backgrounds came together and started making music by fusing rap, funk, pop and soul.
The song I’m recommending is Trinity from their debut album, the song because of its name has a lot of people assuming it to be a religious song, some even found bible verses in the song, here’s what the band has to say about the song
“It's definitely a different flavor from "Ride to California." I remember being in the studio in LA when that song evolved. It actually came out of this love song that Aswan had written, probably five years ago. He wrote it on an acoustic guitar. We were sitting around listening to him play. We heard the hooks in it and melodies. We just started to piece it together, and it turned into this really catchy song that tells a bunch of different stories. We've heard so many different interpretations of what it might mean when people call in. That's the beauty of it. People can hear it and associate it with whatever they're going through, whether it's a relationship, life or tough times. I think it's cool when you have a song that's relatable to so many different situations and people.”
Anyhow, religious song or not, I think it’s a treat to listen to, the vocals are strong with strong emphasis on pronunciation, the synths if you notice also compliment the guitar hooks really well, all in all a very well rounded composition supported by some strong and well suited vocals. Here’s the song
