Dutch pop-rock band “Chef’Special” have just released a new single called “Try Again”. It’s been a while since I’ve heard from them. The last song I’ve heard from them is the beautiful “In Your Arms”. “In Your Arms” is one of those songs I can imagine singing along to by the campfire on the beach with a couple of friends, even though the song is actually a really sweet love song. “In Your Arms” was released in 2014, but actually stayed on the radar for a very long time, due to its catchiness.
The band’s always been a band that strikes lucky one moment and scores a massive hit, and then seems to struggle a little bit. Nevertheless, they have always remained very successful as a live band and have never had this problem getting booked. “Try Again” is heading straight to the charts though.
Just like “In Your Arms”, “Try Again” is catchy and brings us the sound that we now know from Chef’Special. All members bring something else to the table when it comes to their influences, ranging from pop, rock, ska to even some hip hop. This has always given the band the edge and unique sound that caught everyone’s attention. Their songs get unified by the singer’s vocals and some songs just really sound a lot alike.
“Try Again” does bring something new to their fusion sounds. The band has attempted to tie into the tropical house trend and I think they have done it successfully. It’s notably there due to its prominent placement in the song and they haven’t sold out, so don’t expect a dance track, ‘cos it’s nothing of the sort.
The song is taken from their upcoming album, “Amigo”, which was released in March this year. They have also dropped many of the audios from the album on YouTube, so if you’re curious just check out their official YouTube channel.
This year, the band is playing at many of the bigger Dutch festival’s so if you’re in the neighborhood and you can catch one of the festivals you’ll be running into them.
