Rex & The Rhythm’s new single, “Play My Guitar”, is a vibrant mix of groove, soul, and emotion that hits all the right notes. From the very first guitar strum, the song immediately grabs your attention with its funky rhythm and smooth, soulful vocals. The track is about giving everything to a relationship but still feeling unappreciated—a sentiment that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt taken for granted. It’s an emotional subject, but the way Rex transforms it into a catchy, upbeat tune shows his knack for blending depth with fun. The song feels alive, almost like a live performance captured in a bottle. It has a distinct energy that you can’t ignore—groovy and dynamic, it pulls you in from the start and doesn’t let go. Rex’s voice is full of charm and sincerity, delivering the emotional lyrics with a mix of confidence and vulnerability. There’s a smoothness to the way he sings that brings a touch of class to the funk-driven production. The chorus is catchy, with a big hook that sticks in your head long after the song ends.
The musical arrangement is on point. The guitar work is standout—funky yet soulful, perfectly matched to the rhythmic beats that make it impossible not to groove along. Rex himself has described “Play My Guitar” as a blend of Maroon 5’s ‘Songs About Jane’ era with Anderson Paak’s modern style, and that’s a pretty accurate description. There’s a real smoothness to the production, but also a raw energy that makes it feel live and fresh. The lyrics, though, are where the song really shines. They speak to the vulnerability of putting everything into a relationship but not getting the same in return. It’s a theme that’s personal yet universal, and Rex brings it to life with both soul and style.
Rex, who started with the Caribbean pop group Cover Drive, brings a unique mix of influences into his music, and this single is no exception. His experience performing alongside huge names like Rihanna and Lauryn Hill is evident in his stage presence and musical maturity. “Play My Guitar” reflects his growth as an artist—funky, soulful, and full of heart. If you’re looking for a song that combines great vocals, irresistible grooves, and lyrics that hit home, “Play My Guitar” is a must-listen. It’s the kind of track that can get you moving and thinking at the same time. Rex & The Rhythm have delivered a solid, feel-good hit that’s bound to leave a lasting impression.
