    (Janaury 29, 2024) We want the funk! Gotta have that funk.

    Those words of expression from the funk gods of George Clinton and Parliament will always be a mantra in style. And it’s living proof on the newest single from Los Angeles funk band Bella Brown & the Jealous Lovers.

    With plenty of feelgood disco-funk and lots of sassy brass, “Living Proof” conjures up all the fiery emotion of a B.T. Express anthem done with James Brown precision. And with lead vocalist Bella Brown leading the messaging of big energy and reassuring positivity, she attacks the song with promising soulful Sharon Jones grit.
