Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ John Orpheus Returns With New Song “Get Right!”
Trini-Canadian hip hop singer-songwriter John Orpheus returned with a new song “Get Right!” on March 29, 2024.
The song is his first music in two years since the 2022 single “House of Cards”.
Also, the track is the first single off of his upcoming EP of the same name, which is set to be released on June 21, 2024.
It was written by Adam Bowman, Michael Downing, and Michael Schlosser.
Produced by Mike Schlosser with backing vocals by Elise LeGrow.
The accompanying music video was directed by Agata Waclawska.
The song is inspired by early Rick James, Prince, and Cameo, that time when FUNK and PUNK hung out in the same clubs.
John Orpheus said of the song, “'Get Right!' is about finding your swag, securing the bag, and eating well. It's a party vibe with an old school funk energy reminding you to get up, get down and get right. The goal is to dance and shake off whatever is holding you back from your best and baddest self. Sauce is what you put on food to give it flavour. It is funky, fun, and wavy AF.”- Director Agata Waclawska said of the video, “Collaborating on John Orpheus' music video for 'Get Right!' with co-director Alex Exists was an electrifying journey rooted in our collective passion for capturing the soulful essence of funk and the vivacious energy embedded in the song. Our vision sought to create a visually dynamic and chromatic experience, echoing the groovy, soul-infused vibes synonymous with the era of Blaxploitation and iconic musicians from that time. Infused with psychedelic hues and pulsating rhythms, our goal was to pay homage to the freewheeling spirit of the '70s, weaving a tapestry of visuals that channels the era's flamboyance while staying true to John's distinctive aesthetic. The secret to John's coolness lies in his ability to not take himself too seriously yet simultaneously deliver a meaningful good time.”
