"You Gotta Know" by Collaborations, a project created by Ed Daniels, draws a unique connection between the retro and the current. This soulful song, released on the Horizon Music Group label, takes the warmth and integrity of 60s and 70s songwriting and pulls it into present-day music. The influencers are well-known, like The Association, Carole King, and Carly Simon. The intention is heartfelt and resonates with authenticity.
"You Gotta Know" at its core is a call to awareness, a melodic coax to ask why the culture we have sometimes seems right, and explore taking that thought into action in different forms. This song is co-written by Daniels and Anais Preller, who sing on the track with her natural, rich vocals. The track calls you in with clarity, compassion, and urgency. The sincerity in every lyric feels palpable as the perfectly imperfect live instrumentations create a soulful human heartbeat.
Producer Vic Steffens achieves a pristine yet human quality, while Matt Oestreicher's orchestration of the music lends itself to a cinematic persuasion. The musicianship is peerless, from Scott Spray's Grammy-winning bass lines to the soul-drenched background accompaniment of Kevin Monroe and Devotion.
"You Gotta Know" embodies more than a song; it is a mission set to music. Authentic, evocative, and a musical force, it is truly a standout song in the Collaborations catalog and evidence of the idea that music made with love and intent can never go wrong.
