Jimkata - Liar With The Lights On

If you’re looking for a great groove to help you get up and moving during this winter lockdown, then I have just the groove for you! Imagine Prince and Bruno Mars got together and had a funky, phat dance party with more than just a little…pop, and you might be checking out something like Jimkata’s latest release, ‘Liar With The Lights On’ from their upcoming spring album, Bonfires.

Sure, this track deals with some negative vibes but guaranteed you’re going to pull the positive out from this one. Having taken lyrical inspiration from The Police and Bob Marley, Jimkata has a good sense of singing seriously while playing party time tunes.

Singing of impulsivity, fakery, selfishness, and truth emerging from the darkness, ‘Liar With The Lights On’ really does hit weighty subject matter in a cursory way but it is encased in this thick bass riff, funk guitar accents, vocal/synth interludes with synthy foundation, a keytar-effected guitar solo, and a party beat that will certainly help you get a groove going.

This is a wonderful song to inspire listeners to both get up and dance and, if they are attentive to the delayed vocals, reflect on those who may hurt because they are hurt. There is a reality in this otherwise phantasmic piece of party music. So, what are you waiting for? Get up and dance with a' ‘Liar With The Lights On’!
