There is something sexy about how humanly rhythmic the piano that starts of “Monday Nights” by Dave Yaden is. A combination of lofty and tense chord choices that play through dark and light hearted moods in an arrangement that builds through both dynamics and instrumentation. “Monday Nights” to me sounds a lot more like a Friday or Saturday night because of how hype and lit the jam is. Skillful songwriting and musicianship all around with how stuck in my head the horn lines are and how the piano rhythms are a bit unsettling in a way that seems unforgettable. Dave Yaden might as well have been the pianist out of La La Land or have written the accompanying music to the party scene of the Great Gatsby. “Monday Nights” has class and swagger the likes of which is too often overlooked in modern songwriting.
