Right from the start, the rhythm section locks into a sly, funk-inflected groove that makes it nearly impossible not to move along.
There’s an immediacy to the playing that recalls the spirit of live performance, drawing listeners into its energy as if they were in the room with the band.
Atlas’ vocal delivery rides the groove with ease, rich and soulful without ever feeling forced. There’s a warmth to his tone that connects instantly, balancing smooth phrasing with bursts of intensity when the track calls for it. The interplay between his voice, the bassline, and the guitar’s rhythmic stabs feels organic and dynamic, a call-and-response that adds depth to the performance.
The song’s influences are clear yet never derivative. Echoes of Stevie Wonder’s melodic sensibility and Charles’ soulful grit can be felt, while the rhythmic precision nods toward jazz traditions. Still, the track feels distinctly modern, thanks to pristine production that highlights every detail without losing the raw energy of the groove.
Then comes the twist: an unexpected acceleration toward the finale, a sudden rush of energy that elevates the track even further. This sharp turn feels like the musical equivalent of raising a glass of aged whiskey—smooth, complex, and finished with a kick.
The accompanying video, filmed in a record store, adds another layer to the single’s personality. By grounding the song in a setting tied to musical heritage, it underscores Atlas’ message of returning to authenticity, to the essence of music as an art form.
With Foolin Me, Thomas Atlas proves that funk-driven soul can still sound classic and fresh. It’s a track that celebrates tradition while pushing forward, a reminder that groove remains one of the most powerful forces in music.
