Australian soul funk collective SUNEDEN delivers pure dance floor euphoria with their latest single God Is Dead, a track that fuses shimmering disco energy with the band’s signature groove heavy sound. Hailing from Victoria, the group has been steadily gaining recognition for their electrifying live presence, most notably as finalists at the Bluesfest Busking Competition in Byron Bay. With this release, they channel the spirit of the 1970s while keeping the production fresh and undeniably modern.
The song bursts to life with bright horn arrangements and irresistible bass lines that instantly command movement. Layers of glittering synths and guitar flourishes recall the golden age of disco, yet there is an edge in the delivery that makes the track feel contemporary. Vocally, the performance is soulful and commanding, carrying the kind of conviction that turns a catchy chorus into an anthem. The declaration of God Is Dead lands less as despair and more as liberation, an ironic twist that fuels the song’s celebratory energy.
What makes the single so effective is its balance between nostalgia and originality. SUNEDEN clearly nods to the glitz of disco ball eras past, but their arrangement feels tighter, funkier, and purpose built for modern dance floors. The saxophone lines cut through the mix with style, while the rhythm section never loosens its grip, ensuring the track’s momentum never falters.
The accompanying music video amplifies this effect with playful visuals that capture the track’s glitter soaked aesthetic. Its vibrant palette and stylish framing mirror the sense of joy and abandon found in the music itself.
With God Is Dead, SUNEDEN prove themselves more than revivalists. They are torchbearers of soul funk who breathe new life into classic forms, crafting a track that is both timeless and urgent. This single is a glitter drenched celebration that begs to be played loud and often.
