Sounds from the USA

06/07/2026 |

Hailing from the vibrant musical landscape of New Orleans, Burris delivers a dynamic and unapologetically groovy anthem with "Love is the Greatest Force in the Universe," a track that perfectly embodies their self-described identity as a "gumbo of music." Blending Latin rhythms, jazzy soulful arrangements, and a deeply infectious funk groove, the song features a playful, intimate, and undeniably sexy interpretation that keeps the energy happy and high. The track's sonic journey is crowned by a psychedelic, acoustic-driven chorus that channels the warm, expansive spirit of 70s rock, seamlessly bridging their roots-rock foundation with hints of progressive and 90s rock flair. However, beneath this irresistibly danceable exterior lies a fierce, aggressive edge, as the song was recorded for a New Orleans singer-songwriter compilation serving as a protest album centered around current American discourse. Led by the visionary songwriting of Christopher Burris Hochkeppel and elevated by a rotating cast of Louisiana’s finest musicians, Burris masterfully weaponizes joy and rhythm. Ultimately, "Love is the Greatest Force in the Universe" is a masterful sonic protest, proving that a soulful, sexy, and fiercely energetic groove can be just as powerful a catalyst for change as any traditional rallying cry.
