It's Alright To Be Me is the debut single from NYC group Sum. The track is a stylish amalgamation of jazz, soul, pop and funk. The record has a quirky panache, a touch of swagger and an overall catchy patina of a smooth club disc. The musicianship is strong, the stunning vocals display a unique sense of phrasing and a playfulness of delivery. This is a very strong track that we feel may unfortunately suffer commercially from the very cross pollination of styles that gives it much of its strength. This a track that delivers art in every context that word can conjure and deserves to find a wider audience. We look forward to hearing an album from this group, as a long format release will serve them much better than a single. Stream and buy It's Alright To Be Me at the link below.
