How amazing is he? I am a huge, huge fan of this man and his music, and seeing him perfom in a record shop somewhere in the states in his humble kind of way, makes me wanna see him live even more. Quality of the video is not good, and its not one of these flashy music vids, posted all over blog land, but he has soul and spirit.
There is a new Ting Tings tune out there called “Hands”. I first picked it up while i was on vacation in August and funny enough it didnt cause the media ruckus i expected it to do, but it surely will and most sincerely in my 80ies conditioned mind “its awesome”. Produced by Calvin Harris it sounds like a 80ies revival come-alive like i was in the Hot Tub Time Machine. Reminds me of Bananrama and makes me wanna call someone from a phone booth and go see a Michael J Fox movie..

Yes, you are most likely just like myself not attracted by songs that have a “Euro version” in brackets. Therefore I haven’t ever listened to this tune or version. Euro in Europe indicates some horrible dancefloor rubbish à la “Barbie Girl”. So I figured this was one of these versions, where a doomed record label attempts to make soulful and good music “dancefloor friendly” – with horrible results which are even an insult to crappy techno producers.
But on the contrary, this is just a European verison of the same song, that Rapahel Saadiq released 2 years ago and it’s one of these songs that is the pure & living essence of our YUM YUM sound. This version is just a bit more mellowed out, but beautiful nonetheless. Saadiq has always been a favourite in my book and almost every girl I was with got a Raphael Saadiq album (Instant Vintage) as a present to help her climax her musical taste, lol. This means the difference between having a Soul and a lot of so-called modern Soul music.
Big Easy’s actually a sad, sad story but the way he delivers it – I simply – love this tune – love it back

Follow him on ::::Facebook:::MySpace:::Twitter:::Website++++buy all his material via iTunes, some of the few rare artists whose entire catalogue is completely worth it.
PS: Check the video to another one of my favourites on his 2008 album “Way I see it”. Another definite YUM YUM tune – past & present! I Need to play all his music this weekend.
