Music Review // NEIL JAM3S "How It Goes"

There is something to be said for a song that can take you to a very specific place as soon as you press play.   In the modern world of music it seems like everyone wants to be without a genre but sometimes just hearing a really good song in a genre you like is the best form of music.  As is the case with this song by NEIL JAM3S, I am in familiar ground upon hearing "How It Goes". This song has a cool 1970's vibe to it.   A funky bass line gives way to words which are spoken more than singing and this might not sound possible until you hear it yourself but they also feel like they are being whispered loudly.   A mention of disco and I'm thinking about characters like Shaft and Jackie Brown.  The cowbell can be heard and I'm also into that "Walk On The Wild Side" era of Lou Reed. NEIL JAM3S has created one of those songs which you can listen to and come up with an entire movie plot for it in your head.   You have to imagine the main character coming
