Shakes & Les is keeping the music coming with the release of “Khoto Funk”. The new record is now out, and listeners can check it out to see what the artist has brought this time.

A song can have a good vocal performance, but the production still needs to support it properly. That is why the instrumental side of “Khoto Funk” deserves attention. The producer’s work helps establish the structure of the music and brings the recording elements into a finished arrangement. Shakes & Les then gives the track its identity through the main performance.

It is worth listening to the song as a complete piece rather than separating the vocals from the music behind them. Both are part of what makes the recording what it is.

One of the things worth appreciating in music is the amount of work that goes into making a song sound complete. “Khoto Funk” brings that conversation to the table, particularly when considering the producer’s role in the instrumental, arrangement and overall recording. Shakes & Les provides the main performance, but the production helps create the space in which that performance can work.

Listen closely to the connection between the beat and the vocals. That relationship can tell you a lot about the direction of the record.

There is a collaboration to check out from Shakes & Les and Tycoon. The two artists come together on “Khoto Funk”, a new release that adds another joint effort to their respective music catalogues.
