……and so comes, ‘The Way’, from the now super-distilled 3-piece Friends. Recorded in NYC, June 2013, with a helping hand from Devonté Hynes and Joey Postiglione, ‘The Way’ is the band’s first new recorded music aired since the release of their debut album ‘Manifest!’ in June 2012.
Never afraid to surprise, this time Friends take a turn down an overtly ‘80’s power ballad highway, concocting an anthem that would dominate the erection section of any roller disco worth it’s cherry red wheel lube. A relentlessly sexy groove, whiplash snares, sensually breathless vocals and effortlessly egotistical guitars that clearly aspire to the romanticism, indulgence, and prowess for inspiring baby-making of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ lock down from start to finish.
