This Is How You Do It is The Bamboos 11th studio album and shows that the nine piece Melbourne Funk & Soul trailblazers continue to evolve even after 23 years together as a band. The album contains some surprise turns, such as the Boogie / Disco tinged first single "Ex-Files" featuring the band's longtime vocalist Kylie Auldist, and features guest MCs from the US (Ozay Moore and Ohmega Watts) and New Zealand (KINGS). Also guesting on two tracks is Melbourne vocalist Reginald AK, who just happens to be the Kylie's son.
What might sound on paper to be a new direction for the band makes total sense once you recognise the trademark combination of Lance Ferguson's Soul powered production style, their effortless groove and Kylie Auldist's incredible voice.
lyrics
I hit my usual cafe first thing in the morn’
Got a new t-shirt with a new stain on
I got “free coffee” on a stamped coupon
But it’s in my wallet that I left at home
Out the door, see this girl I adore
I never hit her up before, so I flick her a wave
She kinda she busy, she keep checking if I’m shifty
And she seemed a little iffy but she gives me a smile
She told me she’d been waiting for this awhile
And she asked me if I’m keen kick it, I said, yeah I’m with it
We made our plans and on my phone she left her mobile digits
I acted cool but she’s the baddest girl I ever witnessed
Hop in the whip and turn the radio on
No cliche, they weren’t playing my song
I turn it off and feel the sun on my face
I think that everything is gonna be OK
On the days that ain’t going your way
Everything’ gonna be OK
If your clothes ain’t Louis V, or Dolce
Everything’ gonna be OK
If we ain’t in a paradise with Coldplay
Everything’ gonna be OK
Even if you don’t feel like it’s ok
Everything’ gonna be OK
I meet the bro’s around a quarter to 3
At the P.U.B , we betting TAB
I put out hundred dollar bills on the UFC
I got Izzy for the win and now the drinks on me
I check the time and I’m about to be late
The girl from the cafe, said to meet her at 8
I drunk to much to drive, a little high
And my breath smelling like Unleaded ‘95
So I pull up to the date, in this state
She the type of girl who don’t repeat her mistakes
I head off to the bathroom, wipe the guilt of my face
Everything’ gonna be OK
On the days that ain’t going your way
Everything’ gonna be OK
If your clothes ain’t Louis V, or Dolce
Everything’ gonna be OK
If we ain’t in a paradise with Coldplay
Everything’ gonna be OK
Even if you don’t feel like it’s ok
Everything’ gonna be OK
‘Cause our ups and downs reside behind our smiles
You know you know you know
On the days that ain’t going your way
Everything’ gonna be OK
If your clothes ain’t Louis V, or Dolce
Everything’ gonna be OK
If we ain’t in a paradise with Coldplay
Everything’ gonna be OK
Even if you don’t feel like it’s ok
Everything’ gonna be OK
