Release Date: Out Now
The name of Cody Chesnutt has
tickled my ears a few times recently but his music has only just followed suit
in the shape of new single, ‘Image of Love’. This is funky, exciting and
soulful stuff in the vein of Prince collaborating with James Brown with Quincy
Jones at the controls. The beat pops and pulsates while the synths are more
squelchy than anything I’ve heard this side of the late 80s and vocally we’re
firmly in Gregory Porter territory. There are sprinklings of melody here but
this is the essence of funk, relying heavily on the rhythm section and hitting
you hard where it hurts. But it hurts so good. So, so good and so funky.
