(February 24, 2025) Singer-songwriter Davie has released a compelling string of material blending classic soul, disco, funk, and hip-hop flavors. His new single, “Anything for My Baby,” was recorded in Nashville and flaunts an undeniable musical and lyrical swagger that is equal parts classic and modern.
Over a resonant yet relaxed rhythm section, the New Jersey-reared vocalist flexes his range with a gritty chorus and honeyed falsetto riffs relayed to the object of his affection. “Call me for your problems solved, I’m the one that’s on the case/All your needs I could supply, I’m the dealer, here’s the ace,” he matter-of-fact-ly assures with smooth rhythmic finesse.
An adept concoction of captivating organ swirls, knee-deep bass fills, intricate drum rolls, and savory guitar adornments creates a vibrant live atmosphere that is outfitted seamlessly for Davie’s phrasing, which alternates between gliding and punchy in the amorous context. If there is justice in the fickle realm of contemporary soul, “Anything for My Baby” will plug in less seasoned listeners to a musical approach rooted in the fundamentals of soul, applied expertly to a modern soundscape.
“Anything for My Baby” may very well draw you in and have you feenin’ for the funk. Take a First Listen and welcome Davie to SoulTracks!
