Some Men

The story behind

Some Men sounds like the perfect blend between classic soul and the pop rock polished to perfection in the '80s. The track doesn’t settle for the obvious: it’s not just a catchy song, but a layered game where Daryl Hall’s voice stretches over a groove that pulses in 4/4 but with an unexpected twist in the choruses. That’s the magic: the bass and drums carve a straight path, while the keyboards and guitars move diagonally, as if the rhythm knew it had to leave room for the melody to breathe. The production by Hall, John Oates, and Neil Kernon —with technical assistance from Bruce Buchalter— ensures every instrument shines clearly, without overcrowding, as if the studio had been a room where everything fit without clashing.
