A funk band from the UK is not something that I ever really though about reviewing, but I’m open to all kinds of music and like to review bands who follow me so here goes. “Heart and Soul” begins with a striped down intro with bass and guitar tracks that have a pleasing back and forth. As the vocals come in, the drums do too and eventually they both take the forefront while the others fall to the background. The Gyro are not a heavy funk band, which I really like. They keep things like and airy, but keep a strong, moving groove. Both the vocals and instrumentals are stylistically rhythmic and mesh together nicely. I very much enjoy the quality and tone of the vocals – you can tell the singer has a controlled talent. She doesn’t feel the need to be outright and flaunt it, which is refreshing. There is one point where the vocals are echoed by a male voice that feels a bit off to me. The final section of the song takes the form of a fast rap – I never would have seen that coming. It works though, giving a change in tempo, style, and sound to keep the audience on their feet. While not something I would normally seek out, I’m glad that The Gyro fell into my lap. They’re an interesting band and one I’m definitely going to check out further.
