Feel-Good Friday 16.12.16

Welcome to this week’s Feel Good Friday playlist...

This week features a French Jesus lookalike, a funk legend and the moodiest rapper in show business. This playlist is sure to be keeping you feeling good all weekend!

Junior Senior – Move your body

The best thing to come out of Thistead, Denmark since… ok, not a lot comes out of Thistead

Denmark, but once in a blue moon we get something as feel-good as Move your Body. Coming from Jesper “Junior” Mortensen and Jeppe “Senior” Laurensen who both come from the town, this happy song will have you smiling all weekend.

Breakbot – Fantasy

This impossibly upbeat track from French musician and Jesus lookalike (seriously, Google it),

Breakbot is literally what happiness would sound like if you managed to turn it into a 3-minute track. Off the equally upbeat album, By The Way, every one of Breakbot’s tunes forces you to smile with its old-school synths and cheery lyrics.

Earth, Wind and Fire – September

An absolute feel-good classic, this 1978 hit will make anyone feel good who listens to it. The happy refrain of “ba-dee- yah” was actually a mistake, with member Allee Willis being quoted as saying: "I said; 'We are going to change ba-dee- ya; to real words, right?; ... I learned my greatest lesson ever in song writing from that day, which was never let the lyric get in the way of the groove.” Lesson learnt.

Rick James – Bustin’ Out

Rick James, the man, the legend (check out Dave Chappelle’s True Hollywood Stories to see what I mean) brings the funk with this classic 70s track. Featuring some seriously funky bass, some cool trumpets and Rick’s unique vocals, this single truly deserves its place on this week’s Feel- Good Friday playlist.

Kanye West feat. T-Pain – Welcome to the Good Life

Before the on stage rants and afternoons at Trump Tower, Kayne was a simpler artist and probably a lot cheerier. This is clear when listening to the nearly ten year old Good Life, with Kayne making us all a bit happier with some bouncy synths and T-Pain’s awesome auto-tune chorus.

Room 5 – Make Luv

This epic sample of Get Down Saturday Night will make anyone’s Friday that little bit better. With a classic disco sounds mixed in with an infectious house beat, this feel-good track will have your face smiling and your feet moving.
