‘Squeeze me’ is the new single from the forthcoming Kraak & Smaak album Plastic People. The song is a funk fresh number with vocals from Ben Westbeech.
The song has pieces of Phats & Small ‘hey whats wrong’, Ten City’s ‘that’s the way love is’ and the Pasadenas ‘tribute’ mixed together into one hedonistic dance anthem. It’s got an ubiquitous Chic style keyboard jolt that you just can’t erase from your head – like a nagging hangover headache that just wont go away. It’s got a really 70’s feel to it with a current garage and 21st century sound to keep it current – retro with edge!!
It’s a classic summer dance song and is destined to be a hit. It’s a really uplifting song and you cant fault the joy and energy that doesn’t sound fake or forced. The whole song just flows. This could be their breakthrough song.
One drawback, the name Kraak & Smaak – come on lads you can do better than this!!
