Maceo Parker James Brown - Soul of a Black man

Swift Technique’s latest single, Annawanna, is a classic dancehall anthem with a modern soul twist. The song features the expressive vocal talents of Chelsea ViaCava with a simple yet powerful message of devotion and love. The band’s typically propulsive rhythm section is tighter than ever and the ST horn section provides the punch that drives the tune home. Swift pushes the disco groove into an absolute frenzy before dropping into a sweet and soulful outro that will have you slow dancing with your sweetheart. You’ll want to keep coming back for more with this infectious Summertime jam!
