André Cymone Stresses The Importance Of Your "Vote" w/ A Funky PSA

André Cymone wants you to remember the 4th of November folks. And not just every four years. He's got an empowering new joint to hit that home with the bluesy country funk anthem "Vote," stressing the importance of the all too often overlooked midterm elections. It's a bouncy, guitar-driven joint that has all the purply fixins,' making for one of the funkiest PSAs ever. Head down below to put your ears on some new sonics from the purple disciple and your eyes on some words behind the effort. Listen to André Cymone's "Vote," cop his comeback LP The Stone via iTunes today and make sure you hit the polls. Afterall, as Cymone so perfectly puts "if you don't vote, you don't count."

"I was inspired to write the song vote from my frustration with our American political system and how it seems most American can’t simply get their head around how it actually works. So I thought as a song writer what’s the simplest way to get people to understand the importance of voting. So I picked up my guitar and within a few minutes came up with guitar riff and the hook, "if you don’t vote, you don’t count." Then I thought of all the conversations I’ve had over the years with friends and family trying to talk them into voting and it didn’t take long to come up with the rest of the lyrics. For me personally voting in the midterm elections for congress is just as important, maybe even more than voting for president."
