For the final selection of 2025, I’m going with a song that was released just a year earlier. “Feel”, by The Heavy Heavy, has put that band square on my concert radar. This band’s sound doesn’t play or feel like the mid 2020s, and sorry folks, that’s a plus for them.
You could plunk “Feel” as a song from the 1960s to the late 1970s and nobody would really question it. I think this band actually gives hope for future music.
Hope to see this band sometime in the next few years.
