Misdemeanour
By Alex Brady
When the weariness falls upon me, show me not your Red Bull, nor your energy pills! When the sky is grey and life takes on the graces of Dante’s “Inferno”, there is only one heavenly illumination I require. I just pop on the new single by The CB’s, “Misdemeanour”.
There was a special something about funk music in the 70s that has since been lost, replaced with sounds that pass for poor imitations, but here we have a resurrection. The CB’s have managed to capture that integral happiness and irresistible joy that died out over 30 years ago now. “Misdemeanour” carriers more than a hint of The Jackson 5’s “ABC” as well as similarities to The O’Jay’s “Love Train” which bathes you in the same refreshing bliss this single manages to.
The only let down I have to say, is that it gets a bit repetitive, falling into a strange lyrical orbit that’s been glued to a time warp. It leaves you with the feeling that they had room to expand on what they had, but just settled on the first draft to get it out of the way. Hopefully that won’t be repeated in future releases from The CB’s, and it’s that hope that lets me push this one failing aside, allowing me to bask in the smooth sounds and summery warmth many were sad to see fade away all that time ago along with the afro comb.
