Soul Artist Tai Allen Releases Single "Go Groove", In Advance Of Book Soundtrack, "The High X The Mighty"
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 'Go Groove' is about what it means to fall in love during a chaotic time - and the highs and lows that come with it.

Soul artist Tai Allen announced today the release of his new single, "Go Groove (Cadillac x Beemer)", which will appear on "The High x The Mighty", the soundtrack inspired by and scored for his first full-length poetry book.



Allen, who is an award-winning poet and creative, has a penchant for connecting and intersecting musical genres -- and "Go Groove" is no exception. Produced by Suede Jenkins, the mid-tempo love song features the boom-bap of hip-hop, the melody of classic 70's soul music and the lyrical approach of blues.

"'Go Groove' is about what it means to fall in love during a chaotic time - and the highs and lows that come with it," said Allen. "It causes you to consider all the things that can happen to interrupt love and friendships. It also shows how this love thing is beyond complete understanding, but is completely understood."

The drama of love is also what led him to the single's accompanying visuals, which feature a mashup of French animator Cube's minimalistic short, "Perils Of Love."

"I was already aware of Cube's work, but I found the short while enjoying a series of foreign films. It immediately grabbed me in how simple and complex it was in conveying the journey of, and to, love."

"Go Groove" is part of a larger, groundbreaking body of work, featuring Allen's first full-length book of poetry and an accompanying soundtrack inspired and scored for the book. The soundtrack, "The High x The Mighty", and the book, "The High x The Low", are both set for release in February 2016. From matters of the heart to community organizing, the works use art to create larger discussions on how to accept, welcome, or even, survive change.
