A recent single from Amsterdam-based artist Frank Richman, “99 Fire” is a soulful, feel-good success. Lyrical salutations establish the setting as a “beautiful day,” — beckoning to “take it easy,” and let the music play. A grooving vibrancy is wonderfully conveyed, propelled by brass-y invigoration, soulful vocal charisma, and steady guitar pulses.
Bright organs give way to a suavely intoxicating saxophone solo as the two-minute turn approaches, culminating in jazzy percussive flair and “you don’t have to work tomorrow,” vocal reassurances. “99 Fire” firmly exudes a sunshine-filled appeal, fit for bustling days and nights where work/obligations are in the rearview mirror.
The release is accompanied by a fun music video, above, featuring bananas playing guitars and saxophones — and all-around having a good time. “99 Fire” is a vibrantly infectious success from Frank Richman, who is also releasing another track and video, “All the Way Up,” tomorrow, on January 10th. We’re certainly excited for it!
