The Brighton-based collective Rewind The Mind is coming back with their second single, the genre-bending track “Come On With Me”, which combines jazz finesse with funk confidence and is wrapped in an irresistible groove. This new recording showcases the classic sound of this band: a sophisticated blend of music and choreography that is both natural and masterfully staged.
“Come On With Me” is constructed like something interminably constrained yet insanely copious: a bit of night jam that is inexplicably allowed, apparently, into a club jam in some hazy back room. Dope and loutish brass sails through a haze of silky keys and the bassline is not just the spine of the rhythm, it becomes the rhythm of the listener, the hypnotic beat of the hips. Drums are alive yet never desperate and maintain the song within that sweet zone of mid-tempo that locks the song to neither lounge nor dancefloor.
Lyrically, the song is bathed with romantic longing, sexual passion, and an atmosphere of tropical higher living. Sung in an affecting female voice, they are closer to intimate confession than to a performance itself it seems like a desperate request to forget everything and fly away with her. Such words as “Come on with me… to the west indie…” and the phrasing, “He is the only man that fixed me…” come across with a genuine sincerity that is dreamlike and desperate.
This song is a monument of great obsession. This voice is not regaling one with a story but it is in control of the action, it is seducing the audience into the secret world of pulse and the fever of love. Come On With Me will not only invite you to dance, but also make you submit. The music is sweaty, sticky, dizzying like a sticky, sweaty summer night you do not want to miss.
