Hamilton’s Golden Feather are diving deeper into the worlds of funk and yacht rock on new single, “Never Give Up On You,” a horn and bass driven number that at first listen comes off as a straightforward love song.

“No I won’t make the same old mistake on you, when you’re not here you know my heart aches for you,” frontman Bradley Germain calls amidst syncopated guitar, a funk laden rhythm section, and Murray Heaton’s saxophone and flute harmonies. 

“Never Give Up On You” features on Golden Feather’s self-titled debut record, out on September 20th.

I have thought of others when singing it – appropriated moments to live inside this. Ultimately I’m looking in the mirror, and wanting to be worthy of love. Also – this was a watershed moment for the band. This was a stylistic shift, away from the folkier to the funkier. A lot of dynamism in this one.  – Bradley Germain of Golden Feather
