“Ooh ooh child, things are gonna get easier…” I love this song, both the original and this perfectly-timed cover.
7Descent’s version of “Ooh Child” pulls away from the Chicago Soul of the Five Stairsteps original and pushes forth a rock-penetrating corkscrew twist on this tender hit of the 1970s. Kicked off with a synthesized trumpet opening, 7Descent amplifies their power by pounding beefier drumlines and chunking out tight, hefty guitars as rhythm of choice. The vocals mack from silky smooth to honest grit while falsetto harmonies pay tribute to the song’s blaxpirational roots. This life-saving, power ballad rendition allows us to make love to familiar lyrics in a whole new way.
