A gust of wind can signal arrival, disruption, or a change in direction. Lisa B draws on all three possibilities in “Windy”, the latest focus track from her newly released album, ’60s Magic Now!: The Y-Verse. Her version of The Association’s 1967 single becomes the clearest entry point into a record built around transformation.
Before the familiar song begins, Lisa links Windy to Oya, the Yoruba wind goddess and orisha. That brief prelude shifts the character away from the charmingly unknowable woman of the original and toward an older, larger vision of feminine force. Wind becomes an agent of power and change rather than a decorative image.
The music then enters a Latin pop-soul-jazz setting shaped by keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, and layered background vocals. Ben Flint, Aaron Germain, Jeff Marrs, Brent Sunderland, and Sandy Cressman give the track its ensemble character, while Lisa’s arrangement balances the song’s durable hook with a different rhythmic identity. The official music video accompanies the release.
