The keen reader might remember London-based sonstress Audren from an article we published earlier this year, praising ‘Smile, People Smile!’ as being “drenched in groove and instrumental eclecticism, a feature that goes a long way in building a blissful, uplifting aural contour.” We stand by our words; In fact, such a statement has become indicative of Audren’s entire artistic project, as she boldly seeks to bring some brightness and joy to an otherwise grey and disastrous reality.
‘We Want Funkey!’ is exactly that, another dance-inducing jewel that feels euphoric and packed with escapism. Marking Audren’s latest effort, the record shifts the genre references from soulful charisma to disco and funk bonanza, unveiling a piece that’s highly kinetic and hypnotic, a slice of feel-good attitude and dance-floor oriented goodness that will likely entice an enthusiastic crowd. Audren’s vocals guide the track with confidence and unapologetic energy.
Delving deeper into the creative and uplifting ethos that propels the record, Audren explains: “I love dancing anywhere, in my bedroom, in the street, in the meadows. Dancing is like smiling; it puts me in a good mood even when the world is bleak and gloomy. We’re so desperately in need of happy moments right now that, after my last single ‘Smile, People Smile!’, I had to release another joyful song, full of sunshine, togetherness, love and happiness.”
