In the galaxy of neo-soul and buoyant pop, fresh constellations are problematic to arrive—but ‘Move It Up’ by Ingravity illuminates like a supernova in the heart of Berlin’s busy soundscape. At the wheel is Benedict Goebel, whose vision for this large-scale soul-pop blend has been fastidiously made since 2014 and now emanates through their debut album.
From opening chords that accept you like an old friend’s smile to rhythms that prod at inactive dance instincts, ‘Move It Up’ is less an invitation and more a compelling push towards joyous abandonment. The eleven-track adventure conjures up a generous portion of Stevie Wonder-esque enchantment with touches of classic Motown polish that never feels overdone.
Ingravity wields instruments with natural delight—the funk-fueled basslines grip your feet while brass arrangements lift melodies into an elevated stratosphere of groove. Tracks flirt effortlessly between easy listening bistro vibes and Friday-night fever; they dare listeners not to nod heads or tap feet as they’re wrapped in waves of warmth courtesy of layered harmonies fit for contemporary choirs.
Yet beyond energetic hooks and refined production lies Ingravity’s unspoken prowess: passion laced within details—a percussion fill here, an off-center chord there—creating emotive landscapes often lost in over-produced records.
‘Move it Up,’ true to its title, is about elevation—lifting spirits amid adversity through collective musical prowess. Goebel doesn’t merely want you nodding along—he pulls you into a dynamic synergy where each song serves as both sanctuary and celebration.
Whisking us on this diverse voyage cemented with fun-filled artistry, Ingravity seems positioned not only to soundtrack summer barbecues but also claim stake within personal catharses during quieter moments when one needs simply…to move up.
