The Farm, a musical force to be reckoned with, is set to release their latest digital creation, "Let The Music (Take Control)," on February 1, 2024. Following the triumph of their previous radio sensation, "Feel The Love," this track marks the second installment in a series by the band, showcasing their mastery in crafting sublime pop with danceable beats and a touch of northern soul.

• Inspiration Strikes: A Danceable Ear Worm with a Northern Soul

  • The track encapsulates the essence of sublime pop, reminiscent of the dance pop expertise that New Order has perfected over the years.
  • A vibrant fusion of electronic sounds, drawing inspiration from Kraftwerk, is brought to life with dynamic guitar riffs that add an extra layer of energy.
  • The northern soul influence permeates the rhythm, making it an irresistibly danceable earworm.
     

• Nile Rodgers' Influence: A Serendipitous Encounter

  • The spark for "Let The Music (Take Control)" was ignited during a chance meeting and live performance by the legendary guitarist, composer, and producer Nile Rodgers.
  • Lead guitarist Keith Mullin and lyricist Peter Hooton attended Rodgers' performance in Liverpool a few years ago, where the vision of Rodgers as a musical prophet leading a mass movement with the slogan 'Let the Music – Take Control' took root.
  • Inspired by the ability of music to inspire, unite, and change attitudes globally, Hooton decided to convey a message beyond political slogans through their music.
     

• Behind the Scenes: A Fateful Encounter and the 'Hit-Maker' Stratocaster

  • Prior to the Liverpool gig, Keith Mullin ran into Nile Rodgers, and the two bonded over their shared love for the Fender Stratocaster guitar.
  • Known as the 'hit-maker,' Rodgers affectionately recognized Keith's contribution, as he had previously written the riffs for The Farm hits "Groovy Train" and "All Together Now" on a Stratocaster – a tradition continued with "Let The Music (Take Control)."
     

• Triumphs of the Past: "Feel The Love" Echoes Across the Airwaves

  • Released in September 2023, "Feel The Love" quickly gained traction and secured a spot on the BBC Radio 2 playlist, as well as various regional spot playlists, including Gary Crowley and Greatest Hits Radio.
  • The track garnered attention from prominent blogs such as God Is In The TV, XNoise, and the band even sat down for an exclusive interview with Louder Than War.
     

• Beyond the Music: The Farm's Multifaceted Pursuits

  • Amidst their live appearances, members of The Farm have delved into highly successful alternative careers, including lecturing at Paul McCartney's prestigious LIPA.
  • Their endeavors span non-fiction book writing, sports documentaries, directing television documentaries, acclaimed feature films, dance anthems, film scores, TV script-writing, and internationally renowned theatrically released feature films.

As The Farm unleashes "Let The Music (Take Control)," it's evident that their musical journey continues to evolve, leaving an indelible mark on both the airwaves and diverse artistic pursuits.
