Blood Orange - Time Will Tell (video)

The latest single/clip from Dev Hynes is a sparse piano ballad reminiscent of his Sky Ferreira hit and an early Lionel Richie jam. Dev slides through a milky dance studio, plunking away on an ivory grand and then stepping into some Richie/MJ-esque dance moves. Its a simple but effective tune, proving once again that Hynes is the master of culling up a true retro R&B vibe. This is def a good one to check out, you won't be able to hit pause!

Daft Punk Vs Michael Jackson - Billie Jean Get Lucky (No Alooshe Mashup)

Yes you read that title correctly. With their powers combined you, DP and Jacko = the most bizzaro club banger of 2013! Quincy Bangalter Jones has a nice ring to it. Or Michael Jacked Punk! So listen! Listen to the 3rd - maybe even 4th mention of Daft Punk in less than a month!!!!

Soul Makossa

As we continue to reflect on the King of Pop's staggering musical career, certain aspects of his music become more apparent. Likkkke who the heck influenced MJ? Well obvi early disco stars, but less well known is Jackson obsession African music and especially Dibango, a Cameroon singer who pioneered disco with the international single "Soul Makossa," which is a pretty funky jam. Jackson was so into this tune, he stole it! check this (released in 72):

And then this (released on Thriller):


Notice this similarities?..The riffs are exactly the same and also there's the whole "Ma ma se, ma sa, ma ma coo sa" thing..

RIP
