Saturdays call for tunes that make you want to groove. Whether you’re heading out to one of the country’s many venues that have recently opened their doors or you’re enjoying a party at home, “Can’t Do Without (My Baby)”, the latest release from Cosmo’s Midnight, is your perfect soundtrack.
The track samples a long-forgotten gem from the ’70s, “I Can’t Do Enough For You Baby” by Tommy Tate. With those silky soulful vocals, I have no clue why Tommy wasn’t bigger, but maybe this track will be enough to put him back in the spotlight. Cosmo’s Midnight have worked real magic here, incorporating irresistible elements of electronic and funk production into the track. Listening just makes you feel good!
“It’s strange how people can be nostalgic for eras they’ve never experienced,” Cosmo’s Midnight mused. “For ‘Can’t Do Without (My Baby)’ we wanted to capture the feel of coming of age at the turn of the millennium (even though we were just lil babies at the time) when house music was in its golden age. It was celebratory and ecstatic, which is something we really try to bring out in our tunes. This song is really a celebration of that, which feels especially poignant to us, as we all emerge from 24 months of self-reflection, isolation, and anxiety.”
Cosmo’s Midnight wowed crowds in the back-end of last year with sets at Wildlands Festival, Beyond the City, Lost Disco, and even South Korea’s virtual Busan International Rock Festival. They’re not slowing down either, with plenty of shows supporting Flight Facilities before they jet off to Portugal. If you don’t already have your tickets for one of these gigs, you know what to do!
