Rebecca Haviland and Whiskey Heart from New York City have just released the Motown influenced track: “Monday Nights.” The song feels like a quintessential Motown track, bringing to mind “Uptight (Everything is Alright)” by Stevie Wonder. It has the same upbeat, soulful energy with tight, intricate layers.
One of the standout elements is the melodic, flowing, and syncopated bass line that is reminiscent of players like James Jamerson or the slick, well rounded groove that McCartney lent “Taxman.” Locking this groove in tight is the relentless, strong backbeat that gives “Monday Nights“ that addictive, danceable like quality. Clothing this beat is the warm, harmonic texture of keyboard, punctuated bursts of horns, and flowing guitar lines and chops.
Rebecca Haviland gives a stylish and exuberant vocal performance that permeates a strong sense of optimism. With a sense of raw, unpolished authenticity, the vocal makes sure you are 100% engaged across the track.
Fast-moving, designed for outstretched arms and swaying hips, “Monday Nights” acts as a superb taster to Rebecca Haviland and Whiskey Hearts upcoming EP, Late Nights, slated for release this November.
