We recently featured For You Brother‘s debut single, America, so when we heard that the rising band was back with Nice Money – on the Capricorn full moon, no less, we were curious and couldn’t wait to listen and share our experience!
Nice Money philosophically kicks off with an abundance mindset and fierce ad libs and inspiring prose from the late Deep Soul School, intertwined with a rock meets hip-hop hybrid soundscape with epic guitar work. In a music landscape often dominated by formulaic radio hits and internet algorithms, Nice Money stands as a refreshing burst of creativity and raw energy with a hint of nostalgia. Helmed by the dynamic duo Jon Dash and Melvin Blakely, For You Brother infuses their sound with Hendrix-like vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and an almost boundless vitality that harkens back to the golden days of classic rock, yet feels unmistakably current.
Nice Money is a riveting sonic experience. Deep Soul School shares charisma on vocals, alongside Jon Dash’s mastery on guitars and bass, and the track pays homage to icons like Prince, The Time, Van Halen, Yes, and Jelly Roll, while carving out its unique sonic footprint. This is not your average rock band – this is For You Brother: a potent concoction of classic rock and modern flair.
The importance of a song like Nice Money in today’s climate cannot be overstated, especially concerning manifestation and mental health. In an era where anxiety and stress have become commonplace, and the pressures of modern life weigh heavily on many, music that uplifts and energizes us whilst allowing us to create an abundance mindset is more crucial than ever. Nice Money delivers this in spades. Its vibrant melodies and infectious energy serve as a reminder to take a moment to smile and enjoy life, offering a much-needed respite from daily struggles.
For You Brother’s commitment to playing from the heart and singing from the soul shines through in Nice Money. The track, inspired by their everyday experiences, encapsulates a universal message of empowerment and resilience. It’s designed to be fun, a sonic beacon meant to lift spirits and inspire positivity. This intent is particularly significant in a time where mental well-being is a paramount concern. Music has always had the power to heal and transform, and Nice Money is a testament to that power.
For You Brother’s success in securing Mercedes Benz commercials and movie sync deals across eight countries also speaks to the broad appeal and impact of their music. Their ability to resonate with a global audience underscores the universal need for uplifting and genuine musical expressions.
Nice Money is a call to embrace happiness and find light in the mundane. In today’s world, where good news often feels scarce, For You Brother offers a welcome reminder that joy can be found in the rhythm of a well-played guitar and the heartfelt lyrics of a song crafted with care. We have added the song to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream America, and anticipate future records from the talented band.
