Everyday at 3PM, Jon Williams punches up something from the UK on The Zone @ 91-3. He consistently finds some groovy stuff and Monday was no exception.
The group is Rudimental. They have once again teamed with vocalist John Newman (who they discovered singing in a pub), and for the song “Not Giving In,” Alex Clare. We know and love him from this song.
Lots going on with this “stonker” (Jon’s word).
A driving drum + bass keeps this song falling forward. You’re hearing some jazz, some funk, some bluesy vocals. The song has a powerful, uplifting message. This song makes me wanna fight a giant Soviet man in a boxing match. If you have some challenges going on, this is your new totem song. Its time to start the show…. dig it.
Rudimental has a lot going on and on the up-and-up.
Go with yourself.
