"We Want Funkey!" by Audren

We’ve covered Audren’s releases before—and for good reason: she consistently delivers exceptional music. And her latest offering is every bit as impressive as what came before—if not even better. It’s honestly baffling that artists like Audren aren’t dominating the charts. Instead, we’re flooded with generic, interchangeable pop songs that all sound the same. That said, in the independent scene, Audren truly stands out. Her releases don’t just match mainstream quality—they surpass it, with songs and performances that are irresistibly infectious. She’s the real deal.


“We Want Funkey!” doesn’t sit still for a second—it pulls you straight into its groove. Remaining still while listening feels impossible. The arrangement is sleek and seductive, the band is tight and electrifying, and the vocals are blazing. There’s so much to appreciate: the superb bassline, the crisp Clavinet, that brilliant guitar fill before the first chorus, the warm backing vocals, the punchy horns, and the driving drums—it all comes together seamlessly.


If you’re into funk or soul, this is not to be missed. Audren is one of the most compelling indie artists I’ve heard in a long time. I may have hinted at it already, but to be clear: I absolutely love this music.
