The track is all improvised grooves straight from the heart and hips, laden with exuberant horns, buttery organ, and guitar hooks to carry its cries of “Don’t you know I love you? / Each and every one of you.” It just might be the perfect jam for greeting the day — one listen and it’s downright impossible to be in a bad mood.
“We were imagining playing live with this one — it’s definitely written with that energy we get towards the end of a set,” Kokoroko says of the song. “Some shows, like La Cigalle in Paris or Paradiso in Dam have legit felt magical for us and you always want to give that energy back. This is us trying to do that.”
Tune in for a first taste of “We Give Thanks,” which goes live on DSPs at midnight, plus more cuts from the London jazz scene.
