Our Take

Ah, James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, the man that made us all wanna get up offa that thang and dance 'til we feel better. His latest album, Hey America, is a funky tour de force that proves he's still got it after all these years.

From the very first track, Brown's signature raspy, soulful voice grabs you by the ears and doesn't let go. The funky basslines, blaring horns, and tight drums create a wall of sound that is impossible not to groove to. Tracks like "Soul Power" and "Sex Machine" are instant classics that will have you shaking your hips and shouting "Good God!" in no time.

But it's not all just dance floor bangers on Hey America. Brown also shows his softer side on tracks like "I Feel Good" and "It's a Man's World", where he croons with a soulful intensity that can bring a tear to your eye. And let's not forget the social commentary woven throughout, with songs like "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" reminding us all of Brown's commitment to civil rights.

Overall, Hey America is a testament to the enduring power of James Brown's music. It's funky, soulful, and, above all, a damn good time. So grab your dancing shoes and let the Godfather of Soul take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
