There were a lot of expectations about this record. Described by us as the “most uplifting, positive song you will hear this year”, ‘Smiling Boogaloo’ is certainly a slice of euphoria and contagious joy, aimed at inspiring listeners towards smiling a little more, especially as a powerful tool towards the apathy of our times. After a pandemic, an economic crisis and a climate emergency, we should probably try to enjoy our everyday life a little more, finding the positive in the good things. And, smiling more at one another.
As Old Man Soul Club explains, “It’s contagious”. Just give it a go. ‘Smiling Boogaloo’ is built on a charming tapestry of organic matter, pairing groovy guitars with steady drums and charming piano riffing. Crowning it all, we find London-based Old Man Soul Club lending his spoken words to the song, delivered with true British panache and decisively playful attitude.
Describing the main message behind ‘Smiling Boogaloo’, he explains: “Recorded in a flash of inspiration and cooked in its own juices, dee-lish-ious. Let’s see you smiling on socials, the bars and clubs, smiling in the streets and houses, so long as we keep smiling, we are winners. I’ll let you, the listener, decide, if you, want to smile too.”
