Summer is officially upon us. The heat is oppressive and reminds me of why I prefer more moderate temperatures, but it's all good. As long as I have good music and access to air-conditioning, things are good. In fact, things are better than good because some of my favorite artists have been releasing some great videos as of late. Home Free certainly being among them. Their newest video is a cover of a Justin Timberlake song, one that I've seen hailed as the most popular song in the country at the moment. I actually have yet to hear the original version and unfortunately for it, Home Free's cover is going to be hard to top.
"Can't Stop The Feeling" is just flat out fun. Perfect for summer. See for yourself. And if you find yourself dancing along, well, know that you're not alone.
If you watched until the very end - as you always should - you heard bass singer Tim Foust talk about how much fun they had filming this and I believe it. One of my favorite things about this video is that we see that all five members of the groups have some moves and aren't shy about showing them off. That, paired with that oh-so-wonderful groove, makes it somehow easier to dance along. It's contagious. They all clearly having a blast. I've made this point before, but videos are always so much more entertaining when the singer (singers, in this case) are obviously enjoying themselves. It takes it to a completely new level. One that makes it pretty much impossible to resist. That kind of energy is infectious. Why oh why can't more artists understand that? But that's a discussion for another time.
Bottom line is that something magical happens when you combine fun with musical ability. Home Free is so fantastic at what they do. The harmonies are top notch - particularly where it slows down and Tim's on lead. This is the second video featuring the newest member of Home Free, Adam Chance (he would be the one wearing the baseball hat), but I don't think you'd know that if this was your introduction to the group. He fits in perfectly. The bearded and bespectacled Rob Lundquist is a treasure. An absolute treasure.
Adam Rupp, vocal percussionist extraordinaire, is a beast. Pure and simple. I just saw these guys for the third time at CMAFest a couple of weeks ago and it seems like he's somehow gotten even better than the last time I saw them. Adam is truly in a league of his own. Not just terrific at what he does, but so much fun to watch. He's such a dynamic performer and I think this video does a great job of highlighting that.
Of course, the thing about Adam - and Home Free in general - is that they're that special kind of artist that is great on video and absolutely incredible live. I've seen a lot of performers in my life and they are among the very best. That's why it makes me so happy to see them get more and more popular. This cover has been rightfully getting a lot of attention and it makes me excited about whatever it is they have coming next. With these guys, it's pretty much guaranteed that it's going to be great.
