Nick Corbin & The Hang Ups

Feelin’ Kinda Lucky/Time Alone

Big AC, 2023

8/10

Listen to Feelin’ Kinda Lucky/Time Alone

The principle songwriter for the much adored New Street Adventure until 2018, Nick Corbin has enjoyed a prolific solo career since, and here he offers us a pair of soulful tunes with The Hang Ups in attendance.

“Feelin’ Kinda Lucky” starts the listen, and presents Corbin’s expressive vocals and rhythm guitar alongside Michael Hussain’s frisky drums and Stephen Springall’s precise bass for the upbeat soul-rock fun.

The back half consists of “Time Alone”, where Harry Greene’s bright tenor sax and Luke Vice-Coles’ lively trumpet suit the gospel fueled backing vocals of the cozy and stylish delivery.

A quick listen that touches on R&B, disco and plenty of soulful song craft, if you’re unfamiliar, this is a great way to test the waters of Corbin’s inimitable talents.
