Pete Ellison’s been part of the Discoholics Anonymous fabric so long, he might as well have his name stitched into the damn flag. Every time he steps up, he brings a carnival float’s worth of Funk, the kind of choruses you accidentally shout in the shower, and sunshine so bright you’ll need shades.
Respect Yourself is no exception — a big, beaming slice of feel-good, humming with life, and somewhere underneath it all, a sly little rumble from the jungle.
