Meg Remy aka U.S. Girls verneigt sich in der neuen Single vor Southern Soul und Prog-Rock (Foto: Colin Medley)<\/h6>\n

\u201eLike James Said\u201c hei\u00dft eine neue Single von U.S. Girls. Unser Track des Tages ist die zweite Vorabsingle aus dem Album \u201eScratch It\u201c, das im Juni 2025 erscheint. Kurz zuvor hat das Projekt um die kanadische S\u00e4ngerin Meg Remy schon einen episch langen Song als Leadsingle ausgekoppelt. In knapp zw\u00f6lf Minuten bahnte sich \u201eBookends\u201c dem Weg von einer Southern-Rock-Ballade zum Soul-Shaker und m\u00fcndete schlie\u00dflich in ein Rock-Finale. Dagegen nimmt sich unser Track des Tages deutlich k\u00fcrzer und pointierter aus. Was insofern nicht ganz ungeschickt ist, als der Song auch die LP er\u00f6ffnet. Und das tut man am besten mit einem eindeutigen Hit. So fackelt der Opener denn auch nicht lange, bevor sein Shuffle-Groove einsetzt. Angeblich ist das St\u00fcck vom Electric Light Orchestra inspiriert. Hat man diese Info einmal im Arbeitsspeicher, kann man tats\u00e4chlich Jeff Lynnes Prog-Band heraush\u00f6ren. Im Arrangement, im Rhythmus, im Aufbau oder im Vibe.<\/p>\n

Noch st\u00e4rker jedoch klingt erneut eine US-S\u00fcdstaaten-Pr\u00e4gung aus der Aufnahme. Diese Mischung aus Soul, Country und Rock, deren Bl\u00fctezeit von der zweiten H\u00e4lfte der 60er bis Mitte der 70er andauerte. Was auch mit den Entstehungsumst\u00e4nden von \u201eScratch It\u201c zusammenh\u00e4ngen k\u00f6nnte. Denn f\u00fcr einen Festivalauftritt in Arkansas lie\u00df Remy eine Band aus Nashville-Musiker*innen zusammentrommeln. Darunter befanden sich Session-Mundharmonika-Legende Charlie McCoy und Jack Lawrence (The Dead Weather \/ Raconteurs). Die Chemie war so gut, dass man sich f\u00fcr zehn Tage in ein Studio in Nashville einschloss und quasi live ein ganzes Album aufnahm. Auch textlich ist unser Track des Tages eine Hommage an eine musikalische Gr\u00f6\u00dfe des S\u00fcdens. So beginnt die Ode an die therapeutischen Kr\u00e4fte des Alleine-Tanzens mit einem Zitat<\/a> von James Brown: \u201eYou gotta dance ‚til you feel better.\u201c<\/p>\n

Das Album \u201eScratch It\u201c von U.S. Girls erscheint am 20. Juni 2025 auf dem Label 4AD. Der daraus als Vorabsingle ausgekoppelte Song \u201eLike James Said\u201c ist heute unser Track des Tages. H\u00f6rt und seht ihn Euch hier an:<\/p>\n
