Adele – Rolling In The Deep (Jamie xx Remix)

Adele - Rolling In The Deep (Jamie xx Remix)

There’s a fire starting in my heart…

Seems like the blogosphere is going nuts about The xx’ producers Jamie xx’ remix of Adele’s new single Rolling In The Deep from her forthcoming album Adele 21 which will will be released on January 21st 2011. Well so am I. Unfortunately there is only a radio rip available for now. From what I heard the release for this gem is planned for somewhat short before the release of Adele’s long player. Till then please try to blend out that MC for yourself in your mind and enjoy this one. I certainly do.

Motown Wednesday #3: The Funk Brothers – Standing In The Shadows Of Motown

The Funk Brothers, are the people who created the Motown sound as itself. Often they were forgot, as they’ve mostly became props for quality as studio musicians, but in most case just by singers and additionally the Funk Brothers never appeared on any record cover. They always were THE band, when it came to recording a new Motown hit of that time. The list of number one hits is damn long and many many musicians like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, the Four Tops etc. reached their popularity just because of these guys. Yesterday, I watched Standing In The Shadows Of Motown (google video), a documentery about them. I really can recommend that movie to everybody who wants to know how that great movement in music history took place.

PS: If you liked that movie, buy it on DVD in order to have pure phenomenal sound quality!

“Four Women” Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi

nina simone

A modern, soulful classic – thats what this song is to me. Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi lay down the title song to the movie “For colored girls” . I dont know anything about that movie, nor did i care googling it (and i dont mean that in the Tracy Morgan sense ) might be good, might be bad – i am not too much into movies, but good musics good music, and if i was still the mad record collector i was back in the day i would have hunted that tune down. Ps there is a new Janelle Monae song on that album! Definitely worth checking!
