New single and video ‘Chronic Tonic’ by jazz-funk band The Boom Yeh
Stalwarts of the London music scene, The Boom Yeh release second single “Chronic Tonic”, taken from their forthcoming new album Near-Earth Objects set for release on October 4th 2024.
“Chronic Tonic” is a smooth 114bpm jazz-funk instrumental with hip-hop undertones. The first section echoes early 1980’s Prince followed by a boogie/disco outro in the vein of George Duke and The Brecker Brothers, featuring the slick groove bass playing of Matteo Grassi and guitarist Jon Speedy.
Featuring a host of musicians that have worked with Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Alice Russell and Leroy Hutson, new album Near-Earth Objects is a progressive artistic statement for British jazz-funk and the band’s first studio outing since the critically acclaimed Darkstar E.P in 2015.
Propelled by the powerhouse rhythm section of band leader Jon Speedy (guitar), Matteo Grassi (bass) and Alessio Barelli (drums), the grooves are interspersed with the complex horn arrangements of sax player Ian Bailey, spotlighting renowned trombone player Tom White and baritone sax player Paul Silver.
