In The Spotlight

The Free Label – “Shine”

Formed in 2017 in Toronto, this Canadian six-piece party band shares a love for 80s disco and 90s R&B. Consisting of Josh Daniel, Malik Mungo, Cole Mendez, Jacob Thompson, Mathew Fantini and Jason Martin, they’re known for their wild, interactive live shows. They’ve played festivals like NXNE, SXSW and Canadian Music Week and toured all over the world. They released their debut “All Night” in 2018.

Inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Shining Star”, their new single brews an invigorating blend of disco, funk and R&B. Conveying a positive message about self-empowerment, the track starts with some smooth brass, before the funkiness takes over. With a bouncy beat, warm bass line and Braxton Cook’s deliciously jazzy sax solo, this silky, feel-good groove makes their sonic artistry truly shine.
