The/Theys

Song Genre: R&B and Soul

Imagine cruising down a sun-drenched highway, windows down, with this soulful anthem playing. "Helping Hand" by J-Rad Cooley and The/Theys blends bluesy grit with Lionel Richie's “Easy” (like Sunday morning) vibes. Warm Rhodes piano and Hammond B3 organ lay the foundation, while a laid-back groove invites you in. J-Rad's soulful vocals deliver a powerful message: "I'm gonna be a sweet friend, a helping hand." It's not just a promise, it's an uplifting anthem asking, "What would you do to help a friend in need?" This collaboration transcends specific genres, offering timeless comfort and encouragement with a touch of bluesy honesty. It's a feel-good track that celebrates community and reminds us that even when facing bad times, a helping hand is always within reach.
