New Zealand music funksters and funsters SKRAM have a new single out; and with it, they have invented a new word, serendripity. This song oozes fun, and classy humour and makes you want and need to dance. It would fit perfectly alongside the Danish band Junior Senior’s 2003 smash “Move Your Feet” in any good playlist. “Serendripity” is chock full of hooks of both a pop and rock variety and in style owes some debt to the Scissor Sisters and Jamiroquai. The rap element perhaps pays homage to “Wham Rap” and Harry Enfield’s Loadsamoney character, but it works well. If the pop charts actually meant much anymore this song created by Kiwi music powerhouses Henry Ashby and Felix Nesbitt would be number one for months. The video is rather splendid too. The band has explained “Serendripity” or ‘serendipitous drip,’ as “the idea of wearing whatever you want, feeling safe and confident when venturing into the world. The act of wearing what you want, the “drip,” becomes a medium through which you express your unique identity and personality. “Serendripity” celebrates the freedom to make choices based on your own tastes, rather than conforming to societal expectations or trends.” Well, that certainly works for me!
