In “Pulling Me (Pushing Me),” Soulganic captures a beautifully nuanced journey through love and self-discovery. Known for their boundary-pushing fusion of genres, the band brings an inventive blend of soul, funk, and jazz, with hints of reggae and P-Funk to life in this latest track. This single begins with an enticing, soulful groove that embodies the freshness of new affection and gradually shifts into reggae-inspired rhythms, reminiscent of The Police, capturing the deepening layers and complexities of relationships. Lead vocalist Anthony Rodriguez’s emotive delivery adds an authentic touch, guiding listeners through an emotional progression that feels both personal and universally relatable.
The track culminates in a vibrant, chaotic P-Funk-inspired finale, symbolizing the realization of love’s intricacies. “Pulling Me (Pushing Me)” is a masterful teaser for their upcoming album, Phosphene, and, in my view, showcases Soulganic’s exceptional artistry in blending genres to narrate the complexities of the human heart.
