"Witchoo" is a feather-light funk number, driven by Mike Montgomery's lively bassline and the engaging vocal harmonies of Aaron Frazer and Durand Jones. The song exudes a quiet but unmistakable confidence. Jazzy keys and ambient conversation add a smoothly celebratory vibe, enhanced by the group-chant choruses: "Come through, bring the crew / I just wanna be witchoo!" The band's effortlessly tight musicianship makes "Witchoo" an irresistible ode to getting together and having a good time. With a cathartic summer just around the corner in the States, the band's timing couldn't be better. The accompanying visual (directed by Weird Life) shows Frazer, Jones, and The Indications moving from isolation to joyous togetherness, amplifying the excitement.
"Love Will Work It Out" features Durand Jones reflecting on the state of America in 2020. Despite the challenges, the song carries a message of optimism, with Jones declaring in the chorus, "love will work it out." He told Mojo, "That comes from my grandmother, who raised me and really believed in what Dr. King stood for. She's long gone now, but after George Floyd died, and I was feeling despair and doubt, I'd think about things she would say. That song is the sort of thing she would tell me: it's hard right now, but don't give up."
