(August 3, 2023) Production collective Rainbow Funk, fronted by vocalist Sugar Rainbow, has joined forces with Heather Haywood of revered UK R&B/funk outfit The Cool Notes for a delightful slice of retro-driven groove soul entitled “Think About.” Reminiscing on golden days of funky music and dancing while drawing the connection to keeping the good vibes going in a now very changed world, the ladies effortlessly blend their svelte, endearing tones for a melodically captivating dance floor number just in time for the peak of summer.

Co-written by Sugar and Heather with Rainbow Funk composer John Thompson, “Think About” is propelled by a sunny cocktail of bright keys, lively horn fills, and a boogielicious bass accented by a subtly jazzy guitar solo. “So the time has changed, and we used to love the Soul Train/But we hold on to those memories with love so strong,” the ladies sing with sweet and understated sincerity in the first verse. From the get-go, though, the hook says it all: “Think about the things we do in life as we are getting older/Think about the days we danced all night/Now we can start all over.
