Sébastien Tibackx captures raw energy and fire in “Mr Groove”
Sébastien Tibackx’s new single “Mr Groove” is an all-out homage to fist-pumping funk at its most electric. The track was recorded wholly in the moment, capturing the unrestrained energy that crackles between a group of musicians interacting in real-time, driving through to a live listening experience that feels raw and exciting.
“Mr Groove” establishes itself as a contemporary nod to classic funk, incorporating tight horn lines, catchy rhythms, and soulful backing vocals that make it impossible not to move your body. The musicianship is excellent with Pascal Drapeau’s trumpet and Sylvain Tejerizo’s saxophones (both from The Commitments) layering in bright punches. At the same time, Tuxedo Big Band’s Sébastien Arruti provides depth and color with his horn arrangements. Philippe Fauvel, who has worked with N’oubliez pas les Paroles, keeps the track moving with tight, driving percussion that maintains the groove throughout.
Adding a divine touch, Kirk Franklin’s choir singers add resonating backup vocals that elevate the song toward an almost celestial plane, linking the old-school funk vibes to modern musical mystique. It’s the combination of raw live energy and slickness of performance that really makes “Mr Groove” sound like a living, breathing party in sound. For funk-lovers, live lovers, or music-lovers listening for good vibes and pure sound alone, Sébastien Tibackx’s “Mr Groove“ is a force of expression, and this single firmly sets a new era in Tibackx’s music and proves that funk, when it is done right, cannot go out of fashion.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
