Opiuo – Jelly Feat. Texture Like Sun (Original Mix)

by: Toby Reaper May 25, 2016

Almost immediately after being done with his previous album, Meraki, and the corresponding world tour, the Australian master of funkadellic bass music Opiuo said he had already begun working on his next full-length album. Today, he finally released the first single, “Jelly,” off of the new album, titled Omniversal.

The track features impassioned vocals from Texture Like Sun alongside formidably funky guitar and sax. Without a doubt, playing with the Opiuo band has had an influence on his style, which in “Jelly” comes across as an authentic live flow and overall feeling propagated by the instruments and vocals.

It wouldn’t be a true Opiuo track without his signature bass design, which manages to defy all logic with regards to power and loudness while having a placement in the mix that doesn’t overshadow the other elements. This is no small feat, and is one of the reasons Opiuo has been in such demand all over the world lately.

Omniversal will be officially released on June 3, 2016, though he is already about half-way through the world tour for it with The Opiuo Band. The album is available for pre-order here.
