Southern retro-soul band Bonneville is release ‘Over Breakin’‘, the sixth single from their upcoming second album Flying Machine. Building a reputation for their soul, funk and R&B exploits, the new single showcases more of the band’s ability to bring together vintage soul with a modern flair.
Co-written by singer Wes McGee and guitarist Jeff Hayashi, the song offers a hopeful message. “It’s about overcoming pain and moving forward,” says McGee. Hayashi adds, “We wanted it to be empathetic and uplifting, with a classic soul vibe but modern production.” GRAMMY®-recognized producer Starita collaborated on the track, recorded at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals.
With echoes of Motown through its gospel backing vocals, the bright brass and buoyant vocal melody give the track a commercial pop edge. With splashes of blues through the guitar work and it’s upbeat groove, the track is a fine addition to the band’s growing catalogue.
‘Over Breakin’‘ is released ahead of the bands performance at FAME’s 65th Anniversary Celebration in Huntsville, AL, on October 4-5. Listen below:
