A New Era of Soulful Sound – Tye David’s ‘MAKING MOVES’ is a Game Changer
Tye David’s debut album, MAKING MOVES, marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in the world of R&B, funk, and pop. The artist, whose musical theatre roots have taken him from cruise ships to theme parks, offers a fresh blend of infectious grooves and poignant storytelling. The album captures Tye’s personal evolution, addressing the highs and lows of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery with emotional depth and vibrant energy. From the opening notes, it’s clear that Tye is not just an artist but a storyteller, bringing his experiences to life with every beat.
The album’s lead single, “troubled heart,” sets the stage beautifully, exploring the healing power of new love. The song combines soulful melodies with an irresistibly catchy rhythm, making it clear that Tye has an innate ability to balance heartfelt lyrics with smooth, danceable vibes. As the album progresses, we dive deeper into the complexities of love and loss, with “superpowers” rounding out the narrative arc. This track is a triumphant anthem about resilience and the strength gained from moving on, wrapped in a funky, upbeat sound that showcases Tye’s versatility.
The production on, MAKING MOVES, is equally impressive. Collaborations with Ervin Matthew Harris and Reid Smith have elevated the album’s raw, home-studio origins into a polished, professional sound. Each track feels layered and textured, yet retains the warmth and intimacy of the artist’s home recording sessions in Kansas City. The album’s rich arrangements highlight Tye’s ability to blend different genres seamlessly, drawing inspiration from his musical theatre background while embracing a more contemporary sound.
Listening to, MAKING MOVES, feels like being part of Tye’s personal journey. His lyrics are raw, introspective, and deeply relatable, capturing moments of self-doubt, growth, and empowerment. Yet, there’s a playful energy throughout the album that invites listeners to dance and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re in the mood for introspection or simply want to groove to some feel-good tunes, this album offers both in equal measure.
Fans of Bruno Mars, Glass Animals, and other genre-bending artists will find something uniquely captivating in Tye David. MAKING MOVES, is an album that doesn’t just make an entrance; it firmly establishes Tye as a fresh, authentic voice in the music scene. This is an album that promises to be the soundtrack to 2025 and beyond, filled with moments of joy, heartache, and everything in between.

Concrete Club have always had that thing going on where they’re pulling from post-punk and indie rock without sounding like they’re trying to prove anything. This track takes that further. The synths sit in a way that makes you listen, and there’s this rhythm that just locks in and makes you want to move without thinking about it. It’s the kind of song structure that works on you after a few listens, not just the first time through.
What I’ve noticed about Concrete Club is that they’re not interested in smoothing out the rough parts. They’ve been grinding the Manchester circuit, building an actual following, and their songs aren’t about sounding polished. They’re about real things: what it’s like living in a city, losing track of time on nights out, trying to find something that makes sense when nothing does. “People Like Us” fits right into that.
Rowetta’s featured spot here is the thing that makes it work. Her voice against Jonny Brewster’s, with Kallum Delf on guitar, Mark Demuth holding down the bass, and Jamie Butterworth on drums, it all just clicks. They brought in Jonny McGill to handle the drums on this one, and you can feel the fresh energy that brought, but it still sounds unmistakably like them.
This is a song that gets better the more you sit with it. If you’ve been sleeping on Concrete Club, this is the one to start with. Listen here.
