First Listen Shelia Moore Piper "Get Excited" (external link)

(April 29, 2017) -- Brass, thumping bass and kicking drums: these are elements that have drawn party goers from chairs and walls and onto dance floors like musical magnets for generations. Factors such as music industry economics, changing musical tastes, and changes in technology and production techniques make music for the club more producer-driven, and more dependent on synthesized drums, horns and beats. Now 21st Century digitized music can be funky and many of the creators have imaginations out of this world.

However, there is a reason why we put on the EW&F, Frankie Beverly and Maze and the sounds of Detroit and Memphis at the family cookout. And, ironically, church is the one place where funk lifts people from pews to do a holy dance and, well, get excited. On “Get Excited,” Dallas native Shelia Moore Piper is simultaneously unashamed in declaring the joyful news of the gospel while crafting a sound that is unabashedly and jubilantly analog in a digital world. “Get Excited,” with that bouncy bass and tightly synchronized horn section, could have be in an EW&F show, and have folks wondering if a “new-old” song has been unearthed. Check it out.

Shelia Moore Piper‘s music video for “Get Excited” is a dance party. It begins with a dapper gentleman walking to the center of the screen where he turns on the record player. The party commences with five instrumentalists: a drummer, keyboardist, trumpet player, saxophonist, and bass guitarist. A quartet of fresh-looking dancers, backup vocalists, and Shelia Moore Piper are then introduced, all while opening up our ears to the funky, jazzy, and soulful music. Mostly everyone in the video is wearing some kind of pantsuit; some are wearing neat hats and shades, and Ms. Piper shows off some vibrant and sparkly pink heels. You already know it’s about to go down with a lot of dancing! Even with a simple white backdrop, the party doesn’t stop, because the music and lyrics are where it’s at. There are an abundance of jump cuts, from people tapping away at their feet and quick gyrating of the hips. Piper and her backup vocalists are truly bringing the house down with some Gospel harmonies, and they are a perfect fit for a song about getting excited. Turn up the volume, “Get Excited” for the holidays, and dance like everyone is watching!
