Producer/trombonist SIMBO‘s track, “Everywhere,” injects a vibrant, funk-filtered spark into the body of contemporary R&B. It’s a sneak peek into the singer-songwriter’s upcoming album SOUNDSORCERER Vol. 1, and man, does it set the bar high. Singer J. Hoard rolls out with a voice that’s got this eclectic falsetto fizz mixed with a bit of old-school charm, laying down lines about love that feel as big as the sky. “I know you’re a jet-setter/ and I’m tryin’ to fly ‘round with ya/ I have no fear of heights/ And you make my spirit high,” he sings, making you feel like love’s not just about being in the same place, but also syncing hearts across time zones and latitudes.
Then there’s SIMBO himself, who switches it up, bringing in a bit of edge to the mix with a spoken word/rap verse. His words, “Take me all around the world, take me high like/ Shorty come and make me twirl in the sky like,” add a chill vibe to the whole thing, transforming the song into an artful, Soulquarian-esque undertaking that’s ethereal in its reach yet grounded in its execution, balancing the high-flying aspirations of the lyrics with a down-to-earth beat that keeps your head nodding.
“Everywhere” thrives on a beat that’s a beautiful jumble of elastic drums and laid-back basslines that capture the essence of groove—the central feature of the track. And as J. Hoard croons “There’s enough space in the air for me,” it’s clear he’s painting love as an endless horizon.
As we gear up for SOUNDSORCERER Vol. 1, “Everywhere” stands out as a solid promise of what’s coming. It brings real feelings into play, teasing an album ready to connect different tunes and stories in ways that make you sit up and take notice.
