The Sweet Sounds of the Funky Sounds (2014)

“Super group You Do You’s latest single “The Script” is a triumphant resurgence of jazz and funk rock during what feels like a plateau in energy ... This track feels like exactly what we all need right now. It’s a guitar and brass-heavy groove with powerhouse vocals by Katie Feeney.”

“Their sound can be described as new wave lounge disco, with a lot of soul, a little funk, and a pinch of bossa nova. When the seven members take the stage they generate an energy similar to that of Parliament Funkadelic.””
— Hannah Kubik, JUMP Philly Magazine (2017)
“If you love Phish, the B-52s, and Janis Joplin, then it’s time you checked out Philly locals You Do You. Since 2012, Katie Feeney and her accompanying band of jazz musicians have been producing 70s-inspired dance and funk tunes and performing all around the city.

What sets You Do You apart from their musical influences is their contemporary lyrical themes based on Katie’s experience as an environmental activist. You Do You’s latest songs are teeming with the frustration and struggle of passing climate change legislation in today’s political hellscape, but they’re still poised with optimism and strength. ”

““It’s probably an exercise in futility to pin down Philly five-piece You Do You to a single genre. Unless of course we can call “PARTY” a genre. Fitting somewhere in the interzone between Parliament, Chic, The B-52’s, Lady Gaga and more upbeat moments of Phish…(YDY) can be anything from disco to pop to jammed-out funk.””
— John Vettese, WXPN’s The Key (2014)
“Feeney, indeed, dazzles…her voice slips between a soulful softness and a jazzy rock-flavored scream. It’s pretty seamless. from Mama Cass to Janis Joplin and back to Joan Jett she can go throaty and raw and it’s fun to watch” ”
— Bill Chenevert, Philadelphia Weekly (2015)

“Taking a fiercely ferocious stand with bare feet firmly planted in the soil, ‘The Oil‘ is a powerful political message as well as a passionate anthemic jam... Thematically the song is incredibly grounded and connected, and this is matched in the music and in the fizzling interplay between the band themselves. There is a primal Gaia force that swells through them into the track.”
— YACK Magazine (2021)
