New Take 6 album Feels Good to be released March 21

The awesome Take 6 is set to release its new album Feels Good on March 21, 2006.

Have a quick listen to the celebratory first single, Come On, and see if it doesn’t in fact make you feel good.  You can hear about 45 seconds of each of the first three songs on the album courtesy of Infinity Music Distribution.

While you’re at it, there’s a fun video of the group answering questions and performing Come On at the Apple iTunes store in Tokyo on November 11, 2005. To see it, click here and then scroll down, ignoring the kana and kanji until you find “Take6″ in English. Immediately below that, there’s a link that says “iTunes Music Store” followed by some Japanese. Click on that and you’ll be magically transported into a room in which six black Christians from Nashville (via Huntsville, Alabama) sing to Japanese shoppers in the Ginza shopping district of Tokyo about their victory in Christ. Heaven, I tell you.

I’ve been a huge fan of these guys since So Much 2 Say. You simply must marvel at their talent, individually and collectively, and there are some absolutely magical moments when they shape their tight, smooth harmonies into syncopated, funky hooks, it’s just . . . extraordinary.

You can pre-order Feels Good by clicking on the link or, you can do like I’m going to do, and wait until the early dawn of March 21 and download the whole thing from iTunes while rubbing the sleep out of your eyes.
