Massey – 3: 00 AM FUNK
Dive into the groove with Massey’s “3:00 AM FUNK,” the electrifying new single and video dropping April 25, 2025, on Bent River Records! This funky late-night anthem hooks you instantly with its infectious rhythms and emotional depth. Massey describes it best: “The song gives a sense of partying, enjoying the nightlife, and at the same time, has a melancholy loneliness to it. A sense of searching . . . at 3:00 AM.” His cool, syncopated vocals glide effortlessly over a powerhouse band that brings this track to life.
Co-producer and bassist Charlie Wooton anchors the groove with smooth, commanding basslines propelled by Doug Belote’s steady, pulsing drums. Peter Oravetz and Daniel Groover light up the track with dynamic, dueling guitars, while reversed guitar lines add a dreamlike, after-hours edge. Topping it off, The 504 Horns (Jason Parfait on saxes and Ian Smith on trumpet and trombone) inject bold, dynamic bursts of brass that elevate the song to another level.
This track captures the magic and mystery of a city after midnight. Whether you picture the bustling energy of NYC, the soulful streets of New Orleans, or the vibrant nightlife of Denver where the video was filmed, “3:00 AM FUNK” transports you to that heightened moment of searching—for connection, excitement, or even a little danger. With its tight rhythms, killer horn lines, and Massey’s soulful delivery, this song is a must-have. Hit play now and get your funk on!
