With vocals taking center stage and the addition of new member Jerm Salma Craig on backing vocals, &#8220;Liberation&#8221; is a lively composition that showcases a delightful blend of influences from The B-52&#8217;s and The Bangles. Right from the opening notes, &#8220;Liberation&#8221; grabs your attention and refuses to let go. The track is driven by a vibrant rhythm section, with pulsating drums and a propulsive bassline that set a lively pace. The addition of the Wah effect, Hammond organ, and shaker injects a sense of groove and movement, creating an irresistible urge to dance along. The production by Mark Gardener is top-notch, allowing each instrument to shine while maintaining a cohesive and polished sound. The influence of The B-52&#8217;s and The Bangles is evident in the song&#8217;s structure and overall vibe. &#8220;Liberation&#8221; captures the carefree spirit and catchy melodies associated with these iconic bands. The chorus is an instant earworm, with sing-along hooks that will have listeners joining in with enthusiasm. The band&#8217;s ability to infuse their own personality into the track while paying homage to their influences is commendable, resulting in a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. As Jody and the Jerms embark on their extensive summer UK tour and make appearances at multiple festivals, &#8220;Liberation&#8221; serves as a perfect addition to their live set. It is a track that will undoubtedly get the audience moving and create an electrifying atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Liberation\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tGw6C_Mo3jA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Artist photo by Howard White<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/79gF1QtIDV2h5gYh5fK3QA?si=fe0fcb63c4e842e8\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/79gF1QtIDV2h5gYh5fK3QA?si=fe0fcb63c4e842e8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jodyandthejerms\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jodyandthejerms<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com\/\">https:\/\/jodyandthejerms.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jody and the Jerms, deliver an exhilarating burst of energy with their latest track, &#8220;Liberation.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,2928,337],"class_list":["post-20557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-jody-and-the-jerms","tag-power-pop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20559,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20557\/revisions\/20559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
