Thousand Dollar Shoes is a song about moving on - it is addressed to a former girlfriend, but the tone is uplifting. The music reflects this; it has a funky rhythm and an infectious beat. The vocals are novel and gripping. The song moves along on a tenor voice that is gritty and involving, but this is supported by a prominent baritone that joins on key phrases and accentuates the rhythm.
The lyrics tell a story in flashback and turn full circle. It begins and ends with the lines:
"If you saw me on the sidewalk, baby, on the street one day. Would you stop and make small talk with me? Or would you walk away?"

The Review
This track starts out with a kick slowly coming from the distance to in your face! It sounds like the heart beat of the track. The kick slowly introduces the synth that is playing a funky groove that makes your toes tap as the track begins. The kick and synth introduces the vocals. As stated above the track starts out with, "If you saw me on the sidewalk, baby, on the street one day. Would you stop and make small talk with me? Or would you walk away?" I tell you readers this is an outstanding funk track. With all the electronic rhythms playing in unison. As the track progress's the vocalist's sing, "I seen your pictures in the paper, your wearing thousand dollar shoes", as the harmonica is introduced. This is an upbeat breakup song as the lyrics states " Your mad about the way we parted, I'm glad you got the things you wanted", sung along side a harmonica, how original this track is. It is refreshing to hear a track that is so unique as this track!
In conclusion, This is an amazing track. With all the elements in this track just gets you going even though it is a breakup track. The story line keeps you hooked to hear what comes next. It is well sung by the vocalists. And not to mention the beat, it has such a great sound. What you would imagine a modern day funk track would have. I personally love the vibe of this track, and readers, I think you will too. Give it a listen and find out for yourselves. You definitely won't be let down. Below is the YouTube premiere video of, Thousand Dollar Shoes (Atrip funky version).
