Newworldson combines soulful singing reminiscent of Motown with the grooves of New Orleans funk and uplifting, spiritual inspired songs. On their self titled sophomore release, this Canadian foursome combines their funk flavored sound with new inspirations from touring the globe that range from reggae to British wave pop. There is a Way is the first single and captures an irresistible hook filled chorus with soulful singing by front man, Joel Parisien. Fans of Robert Randolph look no further than Listen to the Lord and That’s Exactly (How I like It) which feature a hard hitting rhythm section with some blistering guitar work. Rocky Road and Weary feature Newworldson’s affection for Motown records with a refreshing new spin on that sound.
