Dan Raza’s third album ‘Wayfarer’ is due for release on February 14th, and today’s song is – as you may have guessed – the latest single from it. We’ve already said something about the album here, Dan Raza has a few things to say about today’s song though: “We’re living through an age where snake oil salesman are flourishing on the political scene, peddling scapegoats and promising fake easy cures to deep problems – problems that they’re happy to exploit and make worse if they can profit from them. That worries me because we know where that can lead if enough people take them seriously (and empower them with their vote).” We think we know what Dan Raza may be referring to here.
The song features a more soul-inspired sound, drawing on the influence of artists such as the Staples Singers and Bobby Womack, of which Raza says: “This is the track I’m probably most proud of on the album, as I feel like it covers new ground for me musically and is a signpost to where I could go in the future.” Our take is that it is a little like late period Crosby-Nash as well – which is not a negative by any means.
