Empty Bed - Fat Cat Affair (R&B) We’re feeling all the old school vibes with Fat Cat Affair’s latest track, “Empty Bed.” A midtempo R&B duet centering a live band, the song has a timeless feel, with delicious vocal harmonies and layerings. Put this in the realm of 90s Maxwell, or maybe that amazing Lucy Pearl album considering the male/female vocal duet. While the track makes you smile right when it kicks off, the record truly becomes glorious when it veers off into a straight up gospel chorus. We found it quite refreshing that a song with such classic production was so unique in its arrangement—the song never goes exactly where you expect it to—which makes for a very engaging listen and gives you the compulsion to hit repeat to take the unexpected journey again.
Best Lyric: “I never learned to play this game smart.”
