Specialising in funk and soul-laden pop, they have been compared to such artists as Bruno Mars, Prince, Jamiroquai, Maroon 5 and George Clinton.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Court Royal are on a mission to bring Funk back to the UK and are making a great start with new single &#8216;Watch Yourself&#8217;. Due for release on 29th May, the track is a grooving triumph, encouraging people to work for what they believe in despite what others think of their talents. It\u2019s a positive message in a world that\u2019s all too negative sometimes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Sony producer who heard their music was so impressed that he wanted to get involved, helping to co-produce the single at Liverpool\u2019s Motor Museum studios. The producer, who previously worked with Iggy Azalea, Lily Allen, and Britney, loved working with the band so much that he has committed to helping out on future tracks as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Away from the music, Court Royal are proud of the fact that two of their members work for the emergency services. \u00a0Juggling high pressure work with making top class music can\u2019t be easy, but this band seems to manage it with both ease and style.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With their previous track &#8216;Can\u2019t Get Enough\u2019 being fast tracked onto the BBC Introducing playlist on the same night as it was uploaded, we can only see good things ahead for this funky band.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Watch Yourself&#8217; by Court Royal is due for release on 29th May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on the band visit their\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CourtRoyalOfficial\">Official Facebook Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F204842726&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;visual=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;color=ff5500\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court Royal are on a mission to bring Funk back to the UK and are making a great start with new single &#8216;Watch Yourself&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[553,1553,1554,1320,659,65,77,1555],"class_list":["post-11041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","tag-bruno-mars","tag-court-royal","tag-emergency-services","tag-funk","tag-liverpool","tag-london","tag-new-release","tag-watch-yourself"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-2S5","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":17909,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2016\/02\/charlie-funk-give-me-a-groove-with-debut-solo-ep\/","url_meta":{"origin":11041,"position":0},"title":"Charlie Funk &#8211; &#8216;Give Me A Groove&#8217; With Debut Solo EP","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"09\/02\/2016","format":false,"excerpt":"Brooklyn's alt funk master, Charlie Funk has released his debut solo EP, 'Give Me A Groove'.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;New Releases&quot;","block_context":{"text":"New Releases","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/music\/new-releases\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Charlie-Funk-4.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Charlie-Funk-4.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Charlie-Funk-4.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Charlie-Funk-4.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":8012,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2014\/12\/get-uptown-funking-around-the-christmas-tree\/","url_meta":{"origin":11041,"position":1},"title":"Uptown Funking Round The Christmas Tree","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"18\/12\/2014","format":"image","excerpt":"Mark Ronson has had to rush release his collaboration song with Bruno Mars - \"Uptown Funk\" - due to the fact that Fleur East performed a cover version on the X Factor which has reached the top end of the iTunes chart.
