Kenny Sharp – “Amy”
-I waited for three weeks for a few other songs to pair this track with, but none ever arrived that fit this glorious mix of Motown, soul, and pop that feels like it’s from a different era. It’s the kind of song that will have you checking the calendar not for the month but for the decade… is this the late 60s or what? That said, I love the smooth quality of the vocals and the genuine way the rhythm section hits the “pocket” of this track. It feels like a time machine but has this fresh energy to it as well. I hope this finds its way into playlists alongside Bruno Mars and other modern soul creators. It is, unsurprisingly, a heartache soul track about a woman named Amy. The lyrics, although specific, are quite relatable to anyone who has ever felt heartsick for that someone special. In a different time, this is a top 40 song!
