Gospel blues meets neo-soul over a bouncy boom bap rhythm bristling with shining funk guitar licks, cheeky synths and an irresistible glockenspiel line that despite its positive groove is a bittersweet tale of a loss of faith. A man at the end of his tether searching for safety and redemption is the theme from the New York based, Trinidad & Tobago born singer John Skweird, and he bares his soul here with gusto. Not unlike Mark Ronson’s retro-soul experiments, ‘Better Place’ is both fresh and classic sounding, the timeless soul fire of John’s vocals meshing beautifully with Mr Bird’s modern funk chops.

Hold me I'm falling 
I'm on the edge yeah 
Hold me I'm falling 
I'm on the edge yeah 

This makes no sense 
Nothing ain't making sense 
I keep doing things that ain't making cents
Is this the end?
Dreams unfulfilled 
Did I take the red or the blue pill 
Feels like I'm on the fence 
Lost all my free will. 

Hold me I'm falling 
I'm on the edge.
