Alright, let’s dive into Today I Want You by CFD & Co. This funky little gem from the US, released under Mirror Records, is a disco lover’s dream. With Bobby Pyles pulling the strings as producer, it’s got that slick, groovy vibe that just screams late-night dance floors and neon lights. The album keeps things simple but effective, sticking to its funk/soul roots with some serious disco swagger.
Now, let me tell ya about two tracks that stuck in my head like gum on a shoe. First up, “Disco Hop.” Man, this one hits hard right outta the gate. It’s got this infectious bassline that feels like your feet are being remote-controlled straight onto the floor—no questions asked. The rhythm is so smooth, you almost forget you’re moving until someone points out you’ve been dancing for ten minutes without realizing it. Plus, there’s this horn section that pops in every now and then, giving it this celebratory feel. Like…you know those moments at parties where everything clicks? That’s what “Disco Hop” sounds like.
Then there’s the title track, “Today I Want You.” If you’re looking for something sultry, this is IT. The vocals here have this laid-back confidence, kinda like they’re whispering secrets directly into your ear. There’s also this synth line running through it that adds this dreamy layer—it’s not too flashy, but man does it work. What gets me most though is how effortlessly romantic it feels. Not cheesy romance, more like the kind of vibe where you lock eyes across the room and suddenly the rest of the world fades away. Yeah, THAT kind of moment.
Honestly, Today I Want You isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel or anything—it’s just really good at what it does. Sometimes albums try too hard to impress, throwing everything but the kitchen sink into the mix. But nah, this one keeps it chill while still packing plenty of punch. And honestly? That’s refreshing.
Here’s the kicker though—listening to this made me realize how much we need more music like this nowadays. Like, imagine hearing these tunes blasting in a club today? People would lose their minds! So yeah, props to CFD & Co for making something timeless. Oh, and shoutout to Bobby Pyles—he clearly knew what buttons to push (literally). Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go find someone who owns a mirror ball…
