After the successful run of California Love/No Through Road 45in 2018,
The Traffic revisited the side A cover and B side original format for this release. The band went through many cover ideas, at least 10, before coming to the Daft Punk all time classic and it was a no brainer. The original was fun to write and started with a Dwele beat on the kit(ala Lumidee Uh Oh)
Side A - This is truly a remarkable track.. Harder Better Faster Stronger by DAFT PUNK!!!!
The production is along the lines of the arrangement by Daft P. and then goes further and the mix is really different with the drums being more in front.. which is a Traffic sound thing... All 8 cylinders are open on this track and Horn lines galore!!!
I actually found out from Yuri about WHERE this song came from. Edwin Birdsong had a track called Cola Bottle Baby which is much slower than this version. Actually a small note that Edwin passed while this song was in production, so that was quite a sad turn of events for us, but now is an ode to him.. :( GO Check him out.
Side B- Chasin' Feels is the debut original vocal track by the Traffic. :)
This song is based on the Dwele beat feel which has a cool dance feel to it.
Add guitar, bass and horn section and you have Chasin Feels!! Thando & Francois give the music lyrical content and amazing rhythm and movement throughout.. and there is an awesome jazzy all in horns solo at the end that is worth the wait of 4 minutes..
| A | Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger |
| B | Chasin' Feels |
