Horns, organs, guitars, and funky vocals are the hallmarks of ‘Back To Old School’, and it’s certainly an album set to spice up your life. Speaking about he album, Freddie Singer said,
“While lying in a hospital wondering if I’d make it through another day, I thought, I have all this music that people wanted to hear. If I make it through, I have to get it out there and give it a chance to be heard.”
The band is densely populated with a range of trumpets, saxophones, synths, guitars, and backing vocalists, and they come together in a celebration of life and pure fun. In addition to the opening track, other songs of note include ‘Lucky Seven’, with its immensely danceable bass and rhythm guitar licks, and the romantic lyrics of ‘Cherished Moments’ and ‘Stars Above’.
