Soul de Vienne emerges as a refreshing breath of analog air with their latest live-recorded single, "This Night Is Ours (Crowd Energy)." A slice of music with authenticity carved straight from the heart of Vienna's underground soul-funk scene, where spontaneity trumps studio polish and emotion always wins out over technique.
Fronted by a female powerhouse vocalist, the performance exudes undeniable confidence. She's supported by a full band of players who all clearly convey a sense of groove, freedom, and feel. The song itself dances in that sublime space, a scarce tease spot between genres. It's grounded in classic soul, embroidered with jazzy ornamentation, and zapped with the high-octane showiness of funk.
Each beat, brass riff, and harmony emanates in real time from real humans playing real instruments. The roughness of this track is part of what makes it so exciting. The imperfect is the perfect. It's real. And in the process, it captures something almost cinematic that fleeting night when time slows down, when everything aligns with love, rhythm, and presence.
It's the sound of a bunch of guys that have been playing music together forever, yet still have something new to say, powered by the rhythm of the road and the mysterious alchemy of inspiration and just finding a way to keep the party hopping. In an age when pristine pop seemed to rule, "This Night Is Ours" is a call to the soul. This is a celebration.
