Femi and the Foundation's new single, "Letting Go," is a heartfelt mix of funk, rock, and hip-hop. It's the first song from their upcoming album, "Wrong Side of the Sun." The song is about grief and strength at its core. It was inspired by lead singer Olufemi Taiwo's own experience of losing someone he loved. What starts as a personal reflection quickly becomes a universal anthem that encourages people to face their sadness while finding hope and meaning in their lives.
"Letting Go" was recorded at Bias Studios in Springfield, Virginia, and brought to life by Mark Reiter's engineering and Ben Gorvine's mixing and mastering. The song sounds both rough and polished. Femi and the Foundation's production ensures that every instrument and vocal variation adds to the song's emotional weight, blending catchy grooves with vulnerable lyrics.
The band does a great job of balancing different parts of "Letting Go," which is what makes it stand out. They have a sound that is unmistakably theirs, with funk-driven rhythms, rock guitar variations, and hip-hop cadences all layered on top of each other. But even with the lively music, the song's emotional center, the journey through grief, and the act of finding oneself again, remain at the forefront, making it one that stays with you long after the music stops.
In "Letting Go," Femi and the Foundation showcase their musical range and their ability to turn deeply personal experiences into something everyone can relate to and be inspired by. This song makes you think, helps you heal, and gives you the strength to move on to the next chapter of your life. This single is the band's way of getting ready for an album release that promises to push musical boundaries and touch people's hearts.
