Setting the tone with textured drums, a cerebral bassline and captivating ad libs, The Rhythm Junctions open You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove with a sense of dimensionality, astral synths, whistle nuances and an inspiring overarching theme.
The opus is a powerful anthem that resonates with the urgent need for unity in a world fraught with conflict. Signed under LVLD Music, a sub-label of LFTD Global, You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove brings a modern touch to old-school grooves, blending influences from Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars, whilst manifesting a unique universe unto their own.
The duo behind the magic, Javiere Inniss and Jonesy B, first met in 2020 on the Discord server Prism. We learn that their connection was instant, fuelled by a shared passion for music during a time when the world was indoors due to the pandemic. Javiere, a multi-talented musician, handles guitar, piano, drums, bass, and vocals, while Jonesy B brings his skills in drums, guitar, percussion, and production to the table. Their chemistry is evident in You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove, a track that channels the philosophical essence of togetherness.
Recorded in their home studios, the song is a reflection of the band’s ethos – standing up for what is right and bringing people together. Javiere’s inspiration from the game Friday Night Funkin, Phat Hat’s “Locked Together,” and the timeless music of Bob Marley, is palpable throughout the track. The result is a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove serves as a call to action. The lyrics challenge us to remember our shared humanity in the face of divisive forces like politics and social media. With its infectious rhythm and meaningful message, the track is a reminder that music can still be a conscious force for good in the world.
It is no surprise that The Rhythm Junctions has already made waves with appearances on Stay On Beat’s YouTube channel and AVA Live Radio, and this single is set to continue their upward trajectory. The production process itself was a journey, with Javiere sharing snippets that garnered over 3,000 views, further proof of the song’s impact before its official release.
In a time when the world feels more divided than ever, You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove is a timely and much-needed reminder that unity and positivity are still within our reach, as long as we keep moving and grooving together. We love what The Rhythm Junctions are creating, and have added You’ve Got To Move N’ Groove to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our TRIPPY and TIMELESS playlists!
