My Morning Music: "A Part of History" by Monsieur

This morning, I headed over to Spotify to check out "A Part of History" by Monsieur. The track opens with a jazzy drum beat that's quickly joined by a piano and vocal combo that evokes Stevie Wonder at the height of his popularity in the 1980s. Soon enough, a hand-clapping, foot-stomping hook kicks in: We're all a part of history. Let's keep up the fight for liberty. Well, it would be a start for our victory if we're real masters of our destiny. It's a phrase that rings out repeatedly through the song like a mantra and serves as excellent advice for those of us here in America who are looking forward to our next election. As the song progresses, the lead gives way to beautiful blend of Bobby McFerrin-style scat, funky piano riffs, and a mellow horn section. Great flow, funky beat, strong vocals, and a moving sentiment make this a song worth listening to. Check it out along with the rest of Monsieur's latest album, Sir, for free on Spotify.
