“Kenny Sharp cuts us up with the gleaming blade that is ‘Smooth.’ This Retro Funk/ Soul number has a bit of Bruno, but also some Hip-Hop-esque verve that reminded me of Yung Grvy.
This is a one of those tracks that lodges in your gut and reverborates out to your bones with the groove. I dare you to listen to this and not be persuaded to move to the Funk.”

Music went through a period of taking it self too seriously and Lil Boo Thang harks back to the funk days of just making you feel good and wanna dance. We need that right now. ”
“Bad Taste and Farmboy Slim team to deliver this fun, prickly ride. There are retro vibes of the Beastie Boys and a bit of techno Fatboy Slim Funk vibes as well, but the track really has that eccentric feel that is tough to pin down.
The LA brothers created the track after a psychedelic experience in the desert and you can tell in the best ways that it came from a freethinking mindset. A fun track with a twist and sharp pointed poke at every turn. Get ready to move and smile and reflect a bit as well.”
“Super producer, Stark teams up with Soul singer, Kestra to bring ‘Your Sweet Power’ to life. Riding a funky bassline, the track sweeps you up and into the lyrical build.

“LADIES and GENTLEMAN! Are you ready to rumble ... because Dylan Chambers comes out swinging with this track which is pretty much Bruno Mars meets Muhammed Ali.

This is a track that will get you bobbing and weaving and the video adds some carefree fun and goofiness to this entertaining escape.”

“Love on the sly brings that extra little bit of excitement and this ubeat track from TROY certainly captures that spark and secretive allure with its own tone and vibe.
’Undercover’ leans more Commercial Pop, but does deliver just a hint of a Funk groove that works well. No doubt this is a track that will be shared between covert lovers, but no matter who you are, you can appreciate the passion and energy. ”
“Tommy Newport has captured magic by blending an old soul vibe, with a modern progression and build on his latest single, ‘Warp Speed Suzie.’
The Funk might draw comparisons to Bruno, but there was a verve and confidence about the performance that also reminded me of Timberlake, not in tone, but attitude. This is the kind of track you hear once and by the end feel like its a song you’ve been jamming to for a decade.”
“Coming with that wavy tranquil West Coast vibe, JUICYPEAR drops this soulful Pop track on us reminding of the power music has over all of our lives.

“Bronco X surprised me with their new single ‘Poison’. The high energy band is shown from different angles in a house jamming with their instruments. ‘Poison’ is funky but gives you a feeling of excitement that runs through you like a vibration. As the camera pans around them in a circle providing a green light as if they are playing in a forest like setting.”
“Nick Marcus drops this energetic bit of Pop Funk. ‘Burnin’ is that fire you feel when you spot that smoking hot persona that heats you up from the inside with one look.
The beat and the funk of this track will no doubt conjure comparisons to Bruno Mars because the track has that innate sound that makes you want to get up and move.”
“Sometimes what you need is that Retro soul sound coupled with a bit of good time Funk. You can call it a throwback if you want, but this kind of soul is pretty much timeless as is the euphoric and infectious energy such a track instills. I dare you not to fall in this groove and sing along as you move to that beat. ”
“Jeremy Beck & The Heavy Duty Horns drops this vintage love song with vibes straight from the 50’s.

If you dig that old soulful Jazz Funk sound then you will be eager to give this one a listen.”
“Flevans, along with Laura Vane, delivers the Funk on ‘Ten Feet Tall.” This single comes with an energy you can’t escape from ... not that you will want to, because this one is simply infectious.
Get up and move, or get down and groove, this is a song you can do either to. This is Funk the way it should be!”
“This track about the dating culture of the modern world comes with retro funk sound and this unexpected combination makes for lively entertainment.
Quick and to the point, at barely more than two minutes, the single offers a fun groovy ride. If I had to pin a genre on this one I’d call it Pop Funk, but you can’t ignore that soulful retro vibe either. ”
“Alex Scott is taking a swim in the pool Michael Jackson built and Bruno has been swimming laps in recently. ‘I Got It’ is Pop Funk that will no doubt remind some of Timberlake as well.
Scott’s vocal talent shines bright with this performance and the energy is undeniable, making this a track worthy of your time and energy.”
