Spotlight Release Review | The All’s Eye invite you to speak up and get down on fearless new single
United States, New England
There’s something infectious about a song that tells you to be yourself and means it. “Say What You Wanna Say” the latest from The All’s Eye, doesn’t just encourage self-expression; it builds an entire groove-soaked, genre-smashing jam around it. Released 9th May via Music Factory Records, the track brings a new dimension to Ari Joshua’s original boogaloo instrumental, this time adding vocals and an extra surge of psychedelic soul.
What hits first is the chemistry. Guitarist and vocalist Ari Joshua, keyboardist Kris Yunker, and drummer Ben Atkind aren’t just jamming; they’re locked in. Every note feels spontaneous but purposeful, like it’s being discovered in real time. Joshua’s guitar snarls and sparkles, often mimicking the punch of a horn section, while Yunker’s organ lines swirl with woozy colour and warmth. Atkind’s groove is tight yet fluid, giving the whole track its irresistible swing.
The vocals add a whole new layer. Cool, slinky, and delivered with a wink, they echo the track’s message: speak your truth, ride the vibe, and don’t overthink it. There’s a freedom to the whole thing that feels refreshing, no forced polish, no overproduction, just raw, feel-good creativity.
Produced with care at Carriage House Studios and mastered by Joe Lambert, “Say What You Wanna Say” shimmers with detail without losing its loose, live energy. It’s the kind of track that sits between genres: psych, funk, soul, jazz, even a bit of reggae, and doesn’t apologise for it.
This single follows on from “Blurry Face,” a collaboration with John Medeski and Billy Martin, and lands ahead of “Reversible Submersible,” which drops 23rd May and features Jason Fraticelli. There’s also a summer tour on the horizon, with The All’s Eye bringing their mind-melting sound to the Pacific Northwest from 26th June to 2nd July.
Until then, “Say What You Wanna Say” is your reminder to speak up, let go, and move.
