With their new single and video ‘Together’, London-based collective Funky Nature deliver a groove-driven anthem that bridges soulful warmth and indie-hop rhythm with effortless charm. The song captures the band’s signature fusion of organic, live-instrument sound underscored by lyrical honesty and a spirit of connection.

“‘Together’ began as a desire to slow things down and really feel the moment,” says producer, guitarist and vocalist Jason Fonfe. “I wanted to write something that celebrates the small, everyday things that keep us close. It’s about that human pulse that runs through everything when you stop to listen.”

Taking inspiration from the sensual intimacy of classic soul and filtering it through a contemporary indie-hop lens, ‘Together’ unfolds with understated confidence. Warm guitar tones and smooth vocal interplay glide across a relaxed rhythm section held steady by Gareth Haze on drums and Neil Jackson on bass. The dual vocals of Hannah Jones Allen and Jason Fonfe bring melodic grace and emotional depth, while Charles Mould, known as Red Sea, delivers a raw, rhythmic counterpoint that grounds the track in truth and immediacy.

At its core, ‘Together’ is a reflection on human closeness and connection. “We live in such a fast world, and sometimes the real beauty is in slowing down,” Jason adds. “This song reminds me that connection doesn’t need fireworks. It just needs honesty, warmth, and groove.”

The accompanying music video echoes that sentiment. Vibrant yet unforced, it captures the chemistry between the performers and the unspoken bond that drives Funky Nature’s sound. Every shot feels alive with colour, rhythm and emotion, reflecting the same authenticity that defines the music.

‘Together’ epitomises what Funky Nature describe as their Soulful Indie-Hop Groove: a seamless blend of live indie instrumentation, soul-infused melodies and expressive hip-hop storytelling. It feels unmistakably modern yet rooted in timeless musicality - melodic, organic and deeply human.

With echoes of Gorillaz, The Roots, Massive Attack and Glass Animals, ‘Together’ stands as a bold and heartfelt statement from a band redefining what collaboration can sound like today. Funky Nature remind us that in a world of noise and distraction, the purest rhythm is the one that brings people together.
