Take a sip of new single ‘Smoothie’ by The New Mastersounds
Smoothie: a thick, smooth beverage of fresh fruit pureed with milk, yogurt, or ice cream. Or, if you’re a member of one of the UK’s most enduring and talented soul-jazz groups, the title of the latest musical concoction lifted from your new album
Blended with love and care and packed with nutrients, “Smoothie” is the second single taken from The New Mastersounds‘ upcoming album Old School and is an uptempo, tambourine-driven soul-jazz groover sitting somewhere between Boogaloo Joe Jones and early James Taylor Quartet but with a much crunchier drum sound courtesy of the band’s rhythm keeper Simon Allen and with a blistering organ melody from keyboardist Joe Tatton.
In music, just like smoothies, you get out what you put in, and The New Mastersounds have been putting the work and talent into their craft for decades. This is evident in their upcoming album Old School, scheduled for release on March 29th via One Note Records and showcasing the essence of the band in 10 original instrumental compositions.
