A month after announcing their upcoming album Roll It Out, the Deslondes are back with their latest single, “I’ll Do It.” Sam Doores, Riley Downing, Dan Cutler, Howe Pearson and JJ Tourville sound as dynamic as ever on “I’ll Do It,” oscillating between a rollicking rouse of country-funk and steadfast, floral muzak. It’s the kind of song you can’t help but dance with a lover, friend or stranger to (the “If you’re asking for love, there is no limit / If you want to cry a river, I’ll swim” couplet adds to its intimacy), and the Deslondes’ three-part vocal and twin-guitar melody ruptures into pure soul by the runtime’s conclusion. Written by Pearson, “I’ll Do It” is everlasting and splendid.
