The Beatnik Preachers – BL Room

About

Announcing the title track release from the 3rd album of the same name by the Beatnik Preachers, Don’t Forget the Beautiful. In a world awash with unfathomable cruelty and avarice from one human towards another, the Beatnik Preachers hope to remind everyone of the beauty that remains in our lives. From the simple beauty of “the moon as it shimmers on a lake at night…” to “a melodic phrase from a Mozart Suite,” the latest single is a rich, textured tune with an unforgettable catch-phrase and melody, sitting atop a driving bass line and extremely groovy drums. Anthony “Tok” Norris has penned some truly gorgeous lyrics for this tune, considering these some of his best. The rich piano chords are up front and with subtle synth-pads the harmony of this track envelops the lyrics and provides a depth and texture for the Beatnik Preachers to add their special additions; the Horns of Burke and Norris and the incredibly lush vocals of Katrina B. Subtly contributing to the groove is a loop Norris lifted from Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘the Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” A salute to this inspirational
