Steve Parry - Be Happy - Selador

Are you ready to Be Happy?

A veritable shapeshifter of a tune, boss man Steve’s latest morphs and melds, mixes and mutates, making merry mischief made for maximum musical momentum.

‘Be Happy’ can be read in many different ways – suggestion, request, even instruction. In this instance, let us not over-analyse – what we’re dealing with is a multi-faceted humdinger of a house tune whose very raison d’etre is to induce a state of happiness.

Steve deftly manipulates layer upon layer of elements into a euphoric and cohesive whole. Riffs tease then erupt, bass burbles and bounces, percussion cracks then takes a pause, ushering in a breakdown for the ages. ’Be Happy’ is by turns simple yet complex, busy then stripped back, heads down chugger meets hands in the air anthem.

Ultimately it delivers big time on its titular promise – and for that we can all be thankful…and, indeed, happy.

Team Selador – forever in the pursuit of happiness
