C0D3 7's "Hathor" delivers a mesmerizing Jazz Fusion experience
With their latest single "Hathor," C0D3 7, one of Cody Steinmann's standout side projects, continues to push the boundaries of jazz fusion. Released as a testament to Steinmann’s versatile musicianship, this track blends jazz with R&B influences, resulting in a soulful, vibey delivery that keeps on giving.
From the first note, "Hathor" immerses listeners in its rich, layered sound. The track is a sublime mix of genres, seamlessly weaving jazz and R&B into a cohesive whole. Steinmann's expertise is evident throughout, as the song’s structure and flow demonstrate a deep understanding of both genres. He leads the charge in the composition, however his collaborators are absolutely pulling their weight as well.
The horns in "Hathor" are nothing short of phenomenal. They add an incredible depth to the track, their melodies soaring and dipping with a soulful elegance that captivates from start to finish. The horns are complemented perfectly by the subtle, textured drumming, which provides a steady, unobtrusive rhythm that keeps the track grounded while allowing the other elements to shine.
At four and a half minutes, "Hathor" is a journey through good vibes and sonic exploration. The track’s progression is smooth and natural, with each section flowing effortlessly into the next. This fluidity is a hallmark of Steinmann's work, showcasing his ability to craft intricate, yet accessible compositions. It’s the type of track you can play over and over, setting the tone for a relaxed evening sipping a nice red wine.
The R&B infusion in "Hathor" adds a layer of warmth and soul, making it not just a jazz fusion track, but a piece that resonates on a deeper emotional level. The overall vibe is relaxed and inviting, yet there’s a complexity in the arrangements that keeps listeners engaged and coming back for more. The way they add so much emotion into a vocalless track is impressive, yet we wouldn’t expect anything less from Cody.
With its amazing horns, subtle drums, and rich, layered sound, this single is a shining example of the beauty that can emerge from genre-blending and musical experimentation. C0D3 7 is as legitimate as ever and this release continues to further that point. Go ahead and experience it for yourselves by clicking those links below.
