Richard Green Flips Monday Blues on Its Head with Funk‑Rock Jam “Happy Monday”
London multi‑instrumentalist Richard Green delivers a jolt of optimism on his instrumental single “Happy Monday.” Tracked between his home studio in London and a rhythm session in Piacenza, Italy, the song blends crunchy Red Hot Chili‑Peppers‑style guitar, Prince‑worthy groove, and a splash of John Mayer blues to prove the week’s most‑maligned day can feel downright celebratory.
Green kicks off with a tight funk riff that instantly hooks, then layers slick bass and pocket‑perfect drums before launching into a sun‑burst chorus drenched in wah‑kissed chords.
Midway through, he unleashes a soaring solo equal parts Frusciante fire and Mayer fluidity, reminding listeners that virtuosity and feel needn’t be mutually exclusive. The production remains refreshingly organic; you can almost hear the smile behind every pick scrape.
Conceived during a period when Green craved “good, positive vibes,” “Happy Monday” embodies that mission. Its title cheekily counters cultural dread surrounding the workweek, while its genre‑bending arrangement rock‑pop bones, funk muscle, and blues heart keep the mood buoyant. Play it loud on any gray morning and watch the clouds part.
