I Am Okay

The Jack Moves’ latest single ‘Seabra', is the second offering from the band’s forthcoming project ‘Cruiserweight’(?). ‘Seabra’ is a breezy and romantic, mid-tempo ballad, harkening back to Philly soul acts like Teddy Pendergrass or Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, but infused with a Brazilian samba rhythm, à la Astrud Gilberto. This hybrid of sweet soul & samba, combined with lush arrangements, a head-nodding beat, and soaring emotive vocals could easily conjure a moment from The Avalanches joyous sample catalog. ‘Seabra’ could comfortably sit among contemporary tracks by artists such as Silk Sonic, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, or Durand Jones & The Indications, yet still manages to bring something unique. The Jack Moves enable disparate elements to coexist within sweet soul/R&B, much like the Brazilian community in their home-base of Newark, NJ has become an intrinsic part of the city's character. Seabra is perfect for summery playlists.

The Jack Moves "Seabra"

For what you did

We don’t need much
to feel alright…
just hearts that stay
in candlelight…
Stay close tonight… stay close tonight…
Here at home… we hold… we hold…

Hold on

This uplifting blues-rock anthem captures a journey of hope and togetherness amidst uncertainty. With its warm acoustic guitar, steady percussion, and soulful vocals, the song emphasizes finding "A Place to Call Home" and rising above life's storms. The lyrics evoke a sense of perseverance, using imagery of stars, shadows, and horizons to illustrate a shared path toward a brighter dawn. Ultimately, it is a heartfelt tribute to the strength found in unity and the enduring power of the human spirit.
