‘Get Funky’ gets you into the beat from the first second. The deep beat of the melody gets your foot tapping while the light twinkling disco notes add this higher vibe. The melody throws you back to the dance grooves of the 80s that gently make you move to the rhythm. The driving melody has this light touch to it that forces you to dance around without making you crazy.

The easy funky vibes of the melody are bolstered by Bakewell’s vocals. His voice has this tenderness as it bounces to the melody. The clarity of the vocals draw you further into the vibe of the track and makes everything more fun than it should be. His performance has these wonderful high notes that are so smooth that you have to smile as you listen.



 If the song itself did not make you want to move, the music video will. Full of people dancing to the beat and having fun while listening, there is something about it that makes the beat even more infectious. The dancers in the video are amazing and so engaging to watch. The lyrics popping up on the screen will make you sing along. Honestly, there is no other option.

Jordan Bakewell will get you moving to the beat and smiling the whole time with the infectious vibes of ‘Get Funky’. The song has a very 80s disco feel, but with the infectious energy turned up to 11. The music video is equally entertaining and will make you want to sing along while dancing.
