| Arcade Fire feat. Mavis Staples - I Give You Power |
Release Date: Out Now
I will always associate Arcade
Fire with dark times for some very personal reasons linked to the 7/7 bombings
in London but this new single fuses the bands ability to make social commentary
with their love for pushing musical boundaries. ‘I Give You Power’ has a low
down, dirty, 70s disco meets evangelical soul feel but all played out on the
most lo-fi equipment. The blues structure works so well with the refrain “I
give you power over me; I give you power but I gotta be free” as the tune works
through some processed beats and that funky disco pulse played on synths with
Mavis Staples’ vocals adding that authentic soul vibe. Give this a spin and
revel in the funky side of rebellion.
