New music from Tyler Kinchen & The Right Pieces

Tyler Kinchen & The Right Pieces are bringing a new wave of funk, soul and R&B to Southeast Louisiana, blending vintage flair with a modern aesthetic to deliver a stunning sound. Formed around the magnetic presence of frontman Tyler Kinchen, the band channels the cultural heartbeat of the Gulf South, where music carries both history and invention in equal measure. With smooth, velvet vocals, punchy horn arrangements and exquisite musicianship, they’ve formed an identity that’s at once timeless and forward-looking.

Drawing on Southern funk and Caribbean rhythms while stitching in threads of jazz, pop and soul, their style has naturally drawn comparisons to Anderson .Paak, Leon Bridges and St. Paul & The Broken Bones. The band has been walking their own artistic path paved by groove, charm and an instinct for turning every stage into a celebration.

The group first introduced their studio sound back in 2013, marking their place in the regional scene before stepping away from releasing new material. This year, they ended a decade-long hiatus, returning with a renewed sense of direction and energy, now bringing their audience the fruits of that break with their latest single titled “Lovin’ Man.” For a band that’s long been known for their live energy, the track translates that vitality into a studio recording that’s invigorating and utterly absorbing.

“Lovin’ Man” is a playful, groove-focused cut that captures the band at their most confident, the single shines with warmth, devotion and rhythm from start to finish. Led by Tyler’s soulful vocals and fleshed out with sharp horn lines, it distils the type of joy that turns intimate spaces into dance floors. Opened by the bright run of brass notes, funky guitar flickers dance above the pattering groove of the percussion as Tyler’s silky vocal leads enter to spin instantly catchy melodic leads above.

Peppered with record scratches and call and response style backing vocalisations, the track glides with feel-good energy throughout, delivering a superb jam that’s truly impossible not to love. It’s a dazzling reaffirmation of what Tyler Kinchen & The Right Pieces have always stood for; music that speaks to the body as much as the soul, that invites movement while putting a smile on your face.

Accompanying the release is a music video that further amplifies the band’s personality, capturing the band performing the song cut with playful scenes. With a string of live dates across the South that showcase their continued growth as performers, Tyler Kinchen & The Right Pieces show no signs of slowing down on their sensational musical adventure and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store next.

Commenting on the release, Tyler Kinchen offers, “Lovin’ Man is the kind of track that walks in with a wink and a glide. It’s got charm, rhythm, and a little sweet-talk. It’s fun, but it’s also about showing up with heart—and doing it with flavor, you know? That’s what we’re always looking to do: love loud, groove harder, and don’t forget to smile while you’re doing it.”

Adding, “We’ve always been about connection and Lovin’ Man comes straight from that place—wanting to show up fully for someone, to be present, vulnerable, and real. But that type of commitment can and should also be fun and joyful. So why not make it that way?”
