Greatness begets greatness. The more time you spend around perfection, the more it rubs off on you…
Since forming in 2010, Vintage Trouble have quietly become rock ‘n’ roll’s best kept secret anointed by its very gods on international tours in every corner of the globe. Distilling swaggering rock, soulful blues, R&B (rhythm& blues) grooves, and pop ambition into a bold and brash brew, the quartet—Ty Taylor [vocals], Nalle Colt [guitar], Rick Barrio Dill [bass], and Richard Danielson [drums]—have logged 3,000 shows across 30 countries on tour with divinities such as The Who, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Lenny Kravitz, and Bon Jovi, to name a few. Along the way, they also performed on Later… with Jools Holland, Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, Conan, The View, and The Tonight Show (four times in one year!) in addition to receiving acclaim from New York Times, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and more. With a trio of albums under their collective belt, namely The Bomb Shelter Sessions, The Swing House Acoustic Sessions, and 1 Hopeful Rd., they challenged themselves like never before on the Chapter II – EP I in 2018 and the Chapter II – EP 2 in 2019.
Inspired by this sterling reputation on the road, Vintage Trouble aimed to seamlessly translate that stage spirit into the studio setting for the first time. In order to bring that vision to life, the guys traded Southern California for the Cayman Islands. Throughout two ten-day trips to a private studio, they recorded a bevy of songs and culled them down to what would become Chapter II alongside producer Jeeve [Bruno Mars, Carlos Santana]. Instead of recording live a la previous releases, the musicians tracked individually for the first time and incorporated keys and horns into an expanding soundscape.
Today Glide is excited to premiere “Can’t Let Go”, a new single from the band. With a slinky keyboard and beat that feels inspired by globetrotting electro jams and smooth R&B vocals, the song is a major departure from the retro soul sound that put the band on the map. In this sense, it is refreshing to hear how the band is evolving their sound as they push towards a wider and perhaps even mainstream audience. This song is a slowburner for the most part, but the bridge turns things up with a raucous claptrack, and the chorus seems to get more infectious as the song wears on. While the band has always been exploratory with their music, this funky and sensual tracks marks yet another exciting progression.
“’Can’t Let Go’ in my opinion is just sexy. The lyrics lay it all out. You know you shouldn’t be pushing that line with someone but, the energy and pull is an intoxicating, uncontrollable fire,” says bassist Rick Barrio Dill.
