So groovy … The Grouch enjoyed this upcoming new single and admits Kyla is a talented woman . Bongo Boy Records announce the release by Canadian recording artist Kyla Lynn Vezina . “ Don ’ t Ya Worry ‘ about Me ”
Hej America ! ( Or I should say North America ) - This time around my friends at Bongo Boy have asked me to give a listen to , and share my thoughts about the newest single from Kyla . Kyla comes from Canada and the name of her single is Don ' t Ya Worry ' Bout Me . The cover art sets the tone for what to expect . This is a neo-60s type of song . The 60s vibe is prominent throughout the track . That , of course , is a double edged sword . On the one hand the 60s gave us some brilliant work by the people at Motown and some absolutely stunning iconoclastic earthquakes by the likes of Jimi Hendrix . On the other other hand , the 60s also gave us smelly hippies sitting in drum circles ...
Fear not , Kyla has much more in common with the former than the latter . What I hear in this song is a throwback to Motown . ( As a side note , if you have never seen the documentary “ Standing in the Shadow of Motown ” I highly recommend it .) Kyla has a very good voice . Personally , I could listen to her sing all day . She just grooves ; she has enough snarl in her voice to be provocative . All in all Kyla provides the listener with a pleasant musical escape - she also make me laugh . The Mr . Ed imitation along with the Bela Lugosiesque singing of the word fangs cracks me up . The thing that makes this song fun is that the listener has the feeling that Kyla is in on the joke . Lest , you are tempted to think this song might devolve into a parody , the moments of humor are just that , moments from which Kyla quickly returns to her signature strong soulful expression of emotion . All in all Kyla made me smile and I enjoyed her song . Give it a listen . I think you will like it too . - The Grouch | Sweden
