Exuding a grooviness and laid-back energy that’s palpably pleasing and soothing, Moon & Aries turn their style on its head with “Traffic”. Offering a radically new approach, egged on by a chorus line that echoes its own progression, “keep on moving”. To me, the song echoes a sentiment that’s quite sorely needed in the constant hustle bustle of today. It’s about relaxing, just enjoying the ride for what its worth amidst the traffic. Regardless of how frustrated and flustered you might be, how angered the situation may make you, it’s about staying relaxed, continuing to just enjoy the direction you’re in, and flow however you’re able manage.
Combining this infectious and groovy combination of soul, r&b, and funk, Moon & Aries showcase once again the depths of their genre defying deftness with another eclectic approach that highlights their ability to constantly innovate and do more. It’s effortlessly wavy, echoed by a smooth jazz arrangement that propels it forward and keeps that engine buzzing.
A lackadaisical and relaxing groove.
