Every summer deserves at least one funky song that will mentally transport you to a very luxurious and decadent pool party in Santorini or Dubai, or wherever you know you couldn't afford to go in real life. It usually has a late 60's-early 70's vibe and is hard to resist. This year, my vote goes to "My Type" by Saint Motel. You may try not to dance, qualifying it as too retro and cheesy for your modern taste, stating that House music is the only way when it comes to summer, but you will fail my friend. You will fail miserably...
This song was so good, that we decided to look deeper into this band. It doesn't happen very often but it made us hanker for more. We love funk. No, we LOVE funk and this was 3:29 of pure funky-ness!
It gets you going with the starting trumpet and then just explodes with the added percussion. Admit it, you can't fight the need to clap your hands. And every time A/J Jackson sings "I'm a man who's got very specific taste", you have to physically restrain yourself from screaming "Preach!". The start of the chorus gets you all hyped up and suddenly you feel just like the dancing lady wearing the caftan in the video: you want to free yourself of any restraints and just spin around, twirl, dance until you fall down on a chair somewhere. Preferably gracefully and on the lap of a very hot guy.
Go ahead. Don't feel ashamed. It's that good.
Personally I prefer the unofficial video (seriously, check it out here) but leave you to appreciate the official one who is just as good.
