Si intitola Play that song il nuovo singolo dei Train, gruppo musicale californiano attivo musicalmente da oltre vent’anni e vincitore di ben tre Grammy Award. Il brano, in rotazione radiofonica da Venerdì 14 ottobre, anticipa l’uscita dell’ottavo album in studio della band “A girl, a bottle, a boat“, prevista per l’inizio del prossimo anno, e arriva a due anni di distanza dal precedente lavoro “Bulletproof Picasso“.
Il pezzo, molto scanzonato ed immediato, rappresenta la stessa chiave di lettura con la quale il gruppo ha messo in piedi le precedenti produzioni, con la melodia che richiama Heart and soul, una canzone popolare americana del 1938. Nel testo, il frontman Patrick Monahan, chiede insistentemente ad un DJ di passare il brano preferito, sia suo che dalla sua amata. La particolarità dei Train è stata fondamentalmente sempre questa: la capacità di passare da brani come Drops of Jupiter e Calling all angels ad atmosfere decisamente più soft, come in Hey, soul sister, Drive by e 50 ways to say goodbye.
