Following their last two highly regarded singles "Somebody's Watching You" (18 Mar 2022) and "Seabra" (29 Jul 2022), The Jack Moves announce the release of
their third album "Cruiserweight" which is due for release on 14 Oct 2022.
The album, obviously, includes both of the latest singles which featured in "The Dirty Dozen" on week of their
release with the latest single being chosen as SoulStrutter Selection of The Week
and also entering the Global Soul Chart at #18 this week.
The Newark, NJ, duo Teddy Powell and Zee Desmondes debuted in 2002 with a vinyl only single "Kiss In The Dark" / "A Fool For You" (a cover of Chicago group The Ledgends which has featured on the blog in 2020).
Their acclaimed debut, self-titled, album arrived on Wax Poetics in
2015 followed by "Free Money" in 2018.
The new album will be available digitally, on CD and an vinyl. At
present only sound for the two singles is available but no doubt
another track may be pre-released before the album come out?
They write about "Lionel Richie" being "a hard soul banger, complete with throbbing bassline, menacing
drums, luscious string and horn arrangements and cocky vocals. The
song is reminiscent of The Ohio Players and Rick James funk, or INXS
dance-rock if spun at one of David Mancuso's infamous ‘70s parties
at The Loft. It's a distinctly east coast R&B sound, but able to
sit comfortably alongside a contemporary outer-regional song like
"Am I Wrong" by Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, or joints
by artists like Bakar and Frank Ocean. Imagine a steaming subway
commute through the bowels of the city, to emerge into the powder
keg that is NYC… ‘Lionel Richie' is that energy. Perfect for modern
and nostalgic soul, funk, boogie, rare groove, and disco
playlists".
So, If I were a gambling man, I'd wager that "Lionel Richie" is released as the next single before the album release?
