Presenting the second single taken from Melbourne/Naarm multi-instrumentalist Don Glori’s forthcoming third album ‘Paper Can’t Wrap Fire’. ‘Power’ is a spiritual, choir-led, Brazilian-infused beauty. 

It was a song that Don wrote after being fed up with dealing with bad promoters and agents. It’s a simple mantra - protect your power and energy and do what feels free and good. A playful composition, musically it's divided into two parts. The first was inspired by Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly' and the West Coast sonic world, delicately balancing the spiritual choir, ghostly horns, and jazz break intro. The song then morphs as it progresses, with the gravity that the choir once provided, ripped away by the next section.

From sombre to cheeky, the group chant turns to a satirical hook from the opposite view of the cynical promoter.
 
‘Take your fee, take your seat, come on man keep it up,
Take your fee, take your seat, come on man just shut up’

The song then breaks into a segment that nods to the Brazilian legends Azymuth and their 1977 track 'Tamborim, Cuíca, Ganzá, Berimbau’. Alcides Neto, Robyn Cummins and Al Kennedy provide the shimmering pandeiro, conga and drum percussion rhythms, as Joel Trigg lets rip with a swelling Rhodes solo that crescendos to the finale.

Reflective-R & B – Paploviante: Music & Title; Reidmoto: Lyrics & Final Mix

[verse 1]
We’ve been over this a thousand times
Yet you continue to commit your petty crimes
Talking to you about it seems so ineffective
I’m hopeful when you look so sad and reflective

[verse 2]
But I’m not going to do this anymore
Playing your game is such an F’n bore
Pack your things and hit the door
I’m done with your crap that’s for sure

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[sax solo]

[verse 3]
I hate to speak in rhymes
We’re really in sad times
Depleting dopamine online
Should really be a crime

[verse 4]
They only time you hear me
Is when I rhyme or if you fear me
i don’t want you to be near me
So don’t even try to endear me

[chorus]
What’s your objective in looking reflective?
I’m so ineffective, when I try to be corrective
Can’t you be objective, and see my perspective?
I’m fair when corrective, go easy on directives,

[bridge]
I think the best thing we can do
Is let you go run with your crew
You’ll see if what we said is true
You’ll beg to come back till you’re blue

[outro]
But you might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
You might be hopeless,a factory defective
