#38 Feat. Staff Picks in Nu Disco / Disco

Feeling Wide is an expansive new wave funk jam that evokes 1980s New York City downtown disco. An original from the mind of FSQs Chuck Da Fonk, its a song about self-deprecation with lines like I cant get out of my own way, Im feeling wide today. Walking down the street, I cant get around myself as if to say we are our own worst enemies. The sentiment of the song is brought to life by the layered vocals and sassy delivery from MoFunk Records star Moniquea. While Feeling Wide might have a somewhat cutting attitude, the song is both funky and fun - and it really opens when its punchy bridge hits with heavy percussion and thick layers of synths, including a solo from XL Middleton. The track features members of FSQ including One Era (Matt Coogan) and Tate Masimore on multi-instrumentalist duties, and G Koop turning in a ukulele performance.
