Karma’s Tea, the jazz/pop fusion band masterminded by Mike Desroches and singer-songwriter Mystina, serves up a soulful concoction in their latest track, “Will Be.” The result is a vibrant and energetic composition that seamlessly blends contemporary jazz, R&B, and funky vibes.
“Will Be” unfolds with a funky, energetic arrangement that immediately captivates the listener. The drums, skillfully situated in the background, provide a solid rhythmic foundation. The track features a dynamic interplay of instruments, including funky brass, driving piano, and a touch of lovely guitar work. The standout element, however, is the stunningly soulful vocal delivery that takes center stage. The production deserves commendation for allowing the groove to shine, creating a sound that is both polished and authentic.
The brainchild of Mike Desroches, whose impressive track record includes fronting a Chick Corea Fusion band in New York and touring nationally with various ensembles, Karma’s Tea brings together seasoned musicians with diverse backgrounds. Mystina, a veteran performer with a rhythm and blues passion, adds her unique touch, drawing inspiration from the likes of Earth, Wind and Fire, Janelle Monae, and Michael Jackson.
“Will Be” benefits from the collaboration of exceptional musicians contributing to its vibrant sound. Nat Townsley on drums, known for his work with Mariah Carey and Donnie McClurkin; Ryan Waters on guitar, with credits including Sade, Prince, Heart, and Liv Warfield; Poogie Bells, recognized for collaborations with Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Herbie Hancock, and others; and Lenny Rocillo on bass, known for his work with Bonnie Tyler, all contribute to the track’s rich and dynamic sonic landscape.
Beyond the music, Karma’s Tea embraces a commitment to sharing positive messages through their art. As the band gears up for the release of new tracks, their dedication to infusing positivity into their music becomes increasingly apparent. “Will Be” stands as a testament to the band’s ability to create music that not only grooves with infectious energy but also carries an uplifting spirit.
