How Kent Jones Got His Groove Back
Florida-based rapper Kent Jones, best known for his Billboard climbing hit Don't Mind, recently released a new video for his track Alright. If it sounds familiar to you, that's because the track melody and loose lyrics are sampled and inspired by Earth, Wind and Fire's Let's Groove, but that's as far as the similarities go. The subject matter and lyrics of Alright are much more explicit than the light-hearted, disco-style of Let's Groove. Check out the lyrical comparison and videos below.
Let's Groove Intro and Chorus (Original):
Let's groove tonight
Share the spice of life
Baby slice it right
We're gonna groove tonight
Let this groove get you to move
It's alright (alright) alright
Let this groove set in your shoes
So stand up (alright) alright
Alright Pre-chorus and Chorus (New):
I'm win or lose tonight
It cost to live this type of life (yeah)
She said I might move tonight
But only if that price is right (yeah)
She make the news, in Giuseppe shoes
It's alright, alright
Win or lose, take her for jewels
It's alright, alright
