Song Review/ Jazz : Ari Joshua’s ‘Blurry Face’
Ari Joshua is back with his funk jazz entourage for another spectacular performance in ‘Blurry Face’. The song is emphatic with grooves; a deep bass expression that is instantly memorable. Ari is a compositional builder. With this track, he brings layer by layer, elemental builds that shows us every detail of the song. The jazz piano, playful yet serious, is carried into fleeting accordions, into a cast away grooves.
The composition is festive, free, and cinematic. You can almost imagine the scene, a red room, filled with bodies, faces blurring into each other progressively. Ari’s signature psychedelic undercurrent snakes through the song with a premeditated intention. The funk makes it nice and chunky, the smooth jazz makes it sneaky; its flavor flitting about from frame to frame. And one way to enjoy the song is by seeking the form and face that the psychedelia takes in each arc. It shows you so much. Listen Now!
