Released November 3, 2023. This is a fresh house track from trumpeter/producer Nic Hale that combines tightly produced vocals, a super funky horn section, and a litany of psychedelic effects. While effects like wah and space echo are commonly heard on instruments like guitar, Nic Hale takes a unique approach by drenching his trumpet in these tones. The result is a high energy, in your face tour de force, which, combined with uplifting and empowering lyrics, leaves listeners feeling energized and motivated.
