Starting with an acapella introduction, Martin Reynolds’ latest ‘The Boy’s Got Rhythm’ is an infectious piece of heartland folk that has you jingling alongside. It’s filled with suave swagger, with a line as cheeky and addictive as ‘The Boy’s Got Rhythm, but he sure can’t spell it’. Lifted from his self produced debut album, ‘Where There’s Hope, the latest single draws from addictive 60s power pop and a style of blues based folk. It almost compels you to clap to the beat, snap your fingers with each lick, and sing along to the devilishly fun lyricism.
There’s an attitude to this track, an innate sense of style that makes Reynolds’ brand of folk that much more appealing to hear. If you’re searching for some spring in your step, some bounce and rhythm to bump along while still maintaining the minimalist aesthetic of an acoustic folk track, ‘The Boy’s Got Rhythm’ is bound to have you jumping along.
