Her distinctive intuitive style, blending indie pop, jazz, neo-soul and funk, earned her accolades from famed producer David Guetta for crafting \u201cmusic for musicians.\u201d Working closely with her spouse, guitarist and producer Chris Rime and world class session players, Audren has created songs that have the feel of a warm, healing retreat. Her great catalog, including the album &#8220;Soul Preserves&#8221; and memorable tracks like &#8220;We&#8217;re All Lost&#8221; and &#8220;Smile, People Smile&#8221; from her Think Freedom project, has always been centered on healing, connection and pure, unadulterated hope.<br><br>Now, Audren comes back with her latest hit, \u201cWe Want Funkey!\u201d, a peppy music that provides a big shot of pure happiness to our sometimes solemn world. It\u2019s a physical and emotional reboot, a superb fusion of late-80s and early-90s pop-funk and contemporary neo-soul. The track thumps along to a rubbery, elastic bassline that makes you almost bounce. Brilliant, warm horns hit with joyous precision while vintage-style synth riffs and tight, steady percussion give the song a professional, yet nostalgic shine. It\u2019s a great mix where every single instrument can breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"We Want Funkey!\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fUQZfFQIbaU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fUQZfFQIbaU?si=OhHSrEA6E_bdPyPe\" title=\"\">We Want Funkey!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vocally, \u201cWe Want Funkey!\u201d is an amazing joy. Audren\u2019s lead vocals are airy, breathy and beguiling, giving the music a conversational, unforced charm. That lighthearted energy is perfectly counterbalanced by deep, anchoring backup vocals that trail her lines like a rhythmic shadow. The call and response method produces a compelling discourse, that seems utterly spontaneous. It\u2019s a masterclass in vocal harmony, keeping things feeling loose and free and so much fun.<br><br>But beyond this danceable surface lurks a deeper, more important defiance. &#8220;We Want Funkey!&#8221; invites us to rediscover our playful selves in a world where we are always grown-up, where digital screens are everywhere, and where we overthink everything. In our everyday lives we tend to overthink our relationships.<br><br>We let the daily stress and unspoken expectations develop walls between us. We turn love and companionship into serious arguments instead of just enjoying each other. This song tells us that the best way to mend a damaged soul or reconnect with someone we love is to break away from the heavy conversations. Finding our rhythm and sharing a silly, unscripted moment of laughter is an essential way to survive the complications of modern life.<br><br>In the end, \u201cWe Want Funkey!\u201d is a lovely, unusual gift that celebrates the simple delight of feeling wonderful. It\u2019s a reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for our spirit is to stop thinking and just dance. For the best listening experience, we suggest setting this track up on your loudest speakers, relax and let the groove take over your whole living room!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more songs like this, follow<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/5bBhyMKOiHsDvZ7kHNeUps?si=0ab2b2c01b934e1c\"><u>\u2002Audren on Spotify<\/u><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/audren.artistpage\"><u>Audren on Facebook<\/u><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/audren.in.wonderland\/\"><u>Audren on Instagram<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: We Want Funkey!\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" data-src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5bBhyMKOiHsDvZ7kHNeUps?si=0ab2b2c01b934e1c&amp;utm_source=oembed\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Audren, a London-based French singer-songwriter who calls herself a \u201cgood witch\u201d and is redefining emotional honesty in music.
