As the temperatures rise and the last vestiges of a stifling, unrelenting winter fade into the furthest recesses of the mind, you can feel summer looming on the horizon like a dream once thought unthinkable...warmth, movement, skin. Skin? What does summer have to do with skin, you ask?
Wow, where to begin? Rather than bore you with my prose, I'll simply hand the mic over to Chicago's own Joe Tripp and The Hops, whose "Let Go" is poised to be the song of the summer here in the Windy City.
The song's production is suitably unobtrusive, building a foundation for Tripp's vocals to soar when the ear worm chorus hits.
Those into Robin Thicke, Bruno Mars and The Blue Moods Of Spain will find a lot to like in this evocative anthem.
