Watch Me by Markus Murphy is a dream-funk number. It opens with a banger jazz section and Murphy’s voice makes an entrance. If Murphy’s voice were personified, they wear a leather jacket and speak with a relaxed drawl. His voice only elevates the swankiness of the song. The bass guitar adds an 80’s touch to the song that immediately has you grooving to it. Watch me transports you into a technicoloured world with its incredible instrumental. The saxophone, the trumpet, the bass guitar and the electric guitar evoke a bubbling aesthetic to the single. They clearly understood the assignment with this number.
