Long-time favourite in both songwriting and style – Maypo Deluxe releases a highly-anticipated album, from which two singles have already shone light on the versatility and talent of his creative approach.
Keep on Moving is an infectious rock and roll single, a slick guitar sound gifting something like Americana to a catchy, short-lined gem of an energetic track. It’s a joyous progression, a full-band arrangement with a sublime old-school guitar tone, and all the while, that Maypo Deluxe voice adds conviction and uplift, as we roll towards a simple and smart chorus.
There’s a nostalgic familiarity and comfort to this kind of raw indie rock and roll, but there’s also just enough character and playful creativity to help maintain the recognisable identity of all things Maypo Deluxe. The song has purpose, we’re inspired to consider the value and necessity of real love, and to essentially keep moving forwards – head up, stay strong, carry on.
Keep On Moving is an anthem for the disenchanted, a reminder to focus on the positive things, but not without realistic consideration of the struggles. And it’s all subtle, not lyrically dense but focused, snappy, sharp, and the leading riff has that same distinct quality – a memorable introduction and backbone, which effectively lets the track linger indefinitely in the mind.
Wake yourself up for the colder seasons, with a rock and roll single designed to energise and inspire. The brand new Maypo Deluxe album is one to watch out for this month.
