Traffic - Moon and Aries (R&B) We’ve got our second track in a row from Moon and Aries, “Traffic”, an unexpected soulful and jazzy turn following our review of dreamy synth midtempo “Blurred Vision.” The versatility is front and center, with Moon and Aries leaving the mystical and ethereal mood of the prior single behind in favor of a jazzy, bass driven and smooth saxophone accompanied rainy day cafe jam. Subtle and sultry, the vocal retains the command of the prior track, soaring with some great backing adlibs in the final chorus. Our favorite part of this midtempo groove is certainly the bridge, which allows the song to take a quick left turn into a clap backed chant that helps bring the listener deeper into the track. In sum, this “Girl from Impanema” esque track trots along with tension, and belongs on your chill groove playlist.

Best Lyric: “Thank goodness this car is classic as it lays this groove.“
