The critically acclaimed Toronto blues-rock singer Jake Chisholm is back with a love song. “Keep Me Warm” is a sultry strut through the nightlights of love. Sweet and lowdown, cool and confident, it finds it and keeps it. Something is going on and it feels good.
“Keep Me Warm” is about that beautiful, sweet and warm feeling you get when you surrender to love. It’s a wish that the person you give your heart to will honour and repay the love given with love in return.
Sonically, Jake Chisholm and his crew tried to recreate the tingly feelings of anticipation, and the trailing feeling of lasting euphoria after a love connection by using sounds to mimic the layers of emotion rising and falling during these sensual moments.
Based in Toronto, Sunshine Makers are an original R&B/neo-soul/hip-hop band. Their empathetic and warm new song, “Got to Be Good,” is a mix of modern and classic, featuring Halifax musician, Aquakultre. Producer Ben Fox and Brent Jackson of Sunshine Makers felt that it gives a nod to the old Motown greats while keeping up with current R&B sounds.
The opening lyrics for “Got to Be Good” starts off by stating “We’ve got to bring some loving here today for our friend Marvin Gaye who’d say what’s going on.” It’s a nod to Marvin Gaye and his message in the classic track “What’s Going On.” Love is what the world needs and Sunshine Makers want to remind people through their music that the message is just as relevant today as it was back in 1971.
