A new single has just arrived, this time from The Wood. What is The Wood, you ask? Groove, melody, and pure passion—that’s the essence of this duo from Liverpool. Drawing inspiration from blue-eyed soul, southern rock and indie rock, The Wood delivers a unique, magical and undeniably sexy (!) musical experience. Their sound is warm and heartfelt, blending slow, sultry grooves that are bound to take hold of you, one way or another. “Let it Loose”, the lead single from their debut album “Days”, is a perfect representation of what The Wood stands for musically. With a distinct sound that captures their essence, the track showcases a wonderful brass section featuring mariachi-style trumpets, razor-sharp guitars, a rock-solid rhythm section, and soulful, captivating vocals. Its charm unfolds effortlessly, needing only a couple of listens to reveal its swagger and beauty fully. As the album’s opening track, this catchy single offers a tantalizing glimpse into the artistry and vision behind “Days”. If you’re intrigued by the idea of a band that channels both the sensuality of Marvin Gaye and the fire of Jimi Hendrix, then The Wood is definitely worth your attention. Their musicianship and craftsmanship are nothing short of impressive, and their sound exudes a funkiness that feels fresh. Give “Let it Loose” a spin and let The Wood tell you their story—it’s groovy, soulful and utterly captivating! So funky, my friends … Come on, let it loose!
