As we wrestle with the world's confusing change, people are clinging to one tune that lifts their spirits back up: Jeff Vidov's catchy new song "Baby can u dig your man." With its funky rhythm, words that put a pep back in your step, and music video straight out of the movies, people just keep coming back to this track when they need a pick-me-up like nothing else lately. Let me tell you Jeff's story and how this modern-day favorite ended up becoming his way of sharing what's important to him.
Stephen King's dystopian novel "The Stand" is cited by Vidov as a major source of influence. In King's tale, the majority of mankind is wiped out by a devastating epidemic, leaving the survivors to reconstruct civilization. "I kept thinking what would be the last hit song to be played on the radio before the virus wiped out the planet. Most of my music is quite a beat and positive and I wanted people to dance to this song and enjoy the energy of it." muses Vidov.
To make his idea a reality, Vidov surrounded himself with excellent musicians in his home studio. Drummer Sean Brock laid down an irresistibly groovy backbeat to drive the songs, while Vidov handled multiple instruments: guitars, bass, keyboards, and string arrangements. His classical training was evident in the lush orchestral elements, which wove together with the rock structure.
Vidov reflects, "Some of the significant moments on my musical Journey have been going to Eastman school to become a better classical musician and also meeting a lot of wonderful people in the business at an early age who are successful." Vidov pours this inspiration into creating his music.
"Baby can u dig your man" demonstrates that Vidov is no flash in the pan - his musical evolution from classical prodigy to sought-after studio collaborator has granted him a singular viewpoint from which to spread hope through his craft. As troubling new problems emerge each day, Vidov's song serves as a remedy we could all benefit from a measure of. "Baby can u dig your man" can be streamed on all prominent music platforms.
