Golden Feather Share Funky Ode to Self-Love on New Single
“Never Give Up On You” is out now
Hamilton’s Golden Feather are diving deeper into the worlds of funk and yacht rock on new single, “Never Give Up On You,” a horn and bass driven number that at first listen comes off as a straightforward love song.
“No I won’t make the same old mistake on you, when you’re not here you know my heart aches for you,” frontman Bradley Germain calls amidst syncopated guitar, a funk laden rhythm section, and Murray Heaton’s saxophone and flute harmonies.
“Never Give Up On You” features on Golden Feather’s self-titled debut record, out on September 20th.
I have thought of others when singing it - appropriated moments to live inside this. Ultimately I’m looking in the mirror, and wanting to be worthy of love. Also - this was a watershed moment for the band. This was a stylistic shift, away from the folkier to the funkier. A lot of dynamism in this one. – Bradley Germain of Golden Feather
