Like the loud pop of the snare drum, R\u00e9sin\u00e9<\/strong> will grab your attention before it blends elements of reggae, pop music, and some sultry jazz into the mix. The St. Petersburg band is just one of many great acts that the city has to offer, but the music Resinated brings to the scene personifies the city in a way other bands can’t seem to match. The band brings an alternative aesthetic to the towering business buildings and the constant traffic on a new EP entitled The After Party Part 2.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got some new stuff on the new album that\u2019s coming out that\u2019s pretty much directly written based around things we did and places we hung out in St.<\/em> Petersburg,\u201d said Jeff Applefield,<\/strong> keyboardist and back up singer for Resinated. But on their new release, Resinated are aiming for more than just personifying their hometown. The After Party Part 2<\/i> aims for a poppier feel and has better production value than previous material thanks to an all-star production team consisting of producer Justin Gray<\/strong> plus Brian Malouf<\/strong> et Chris Gehringer<\/strong> who mixed and mastered the album, respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook them up you\u2019ll see what they\u2019ve done,\u201d<\/em> said Resinated frontman, Kenny Mullins<\/strong> of the production crew that\u2019s worked on tracks by Michael Jackson<\/strong>, Robin Thicke<\/strong>, John Legend<\/strong>, Mariah Carey<\/strong> and more. Even at just four songs long, The After Party Part 2<\/i> will still send Resinated fans to the dance floor, and the band \u2014 famous for party songs like \u201cSativa Feva\u201d from its 2015 album Smoke Signals<\/em> \u2014 has adopted a more business-oriented approach to its band, according to drummer Josh Hasak<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to grow. We want to reach out to the people in Omaha, Nebraska who saw Resinated once three years ago and who\u2019re begging to have us back,\u201d<\/em> Hasak explained. \u201cWe play music to change someone\u2019s life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Resinated isn’t just changing lives, it is changing up the music it produces. Applefield refers to it as a step forward, “Theres some pop elements and some electronic elements,”<\/em> but of course it isn’t shying away from it’s reggae roots, instead it seems as though it is adding a bit of zest to the reggae genre.<\/p>\n

Zest is best, but energy and camaraderie is something that is present on each track of The After Party Part 2, <\/i>especially at every Resinated show. Each member of the band can be seen smiling and laughing with each other on and off the stage. Hasak said that it’s about tapping into an inner spirit, “You’ll see me close my eyes all the time when I’m playing drums and pull the whole Stevie Wonder approach to it, but it’s because we lock in,”<\/em> Hasak sees it especially with their newest member, Danny Bub<\/strong>, it’s touring saxophonist. “Not just his musicianship but the way he meshes with everyone is an incredible addition to our team.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The music Bub brings to Resinated is a sexy, tantric saxophone sound and is a prime example of why every reggae\/pop band needs a saxophone in the mix. For Bub it’s all about soul and in his words he describes his style as “Smooth, bold and melodic.”<\/em> Unfortunately, Bub did not record any saxophone for The After Party Part 2<\/i> but did hint at writing even newer things with Mullins.<\/p>\n

The party doesn\u2019t stop with Part 2 <\/i>though. Mullins stated that this is part of a bigger project and that there will be a Part 3 and 4 as well. Until then, fans will have the chance to dance the night away with Part 2<\/i>, as well as learn every word to The After Party Part 2<\/i>\u2019s opening track, \u201cLights Down Low\u201d with a brand new lyric-music video, which can be found ici<\/a>. R\u00e9sin\u00e9<\/strong> also announced a Texas tour with Tatanka<\/strong>, TH3RD COAST ROOTS<\/strong>, and reggae legends, UB40<\/strong> which will be taking place in October. Be sure to catch a show, or at least play The After Party Part 2<\/i> on repeat all the way until then.<\/p>\n
