A playlist of some of my latest postings. Enjoy!

Jay-Z, Pharrell, Lana Del Rey - Allure (OTTR)

Urban Noize remix

what's your name

The DeBarges was the world's first exposure to the talented siblings (outside of Bobby and Tommy's involvement with Switch).  penned by Bunny, Bobby, and El, this lead single failed to chart, but left their potential unquestioned.  the obvious Jackson family likeness of this group helped Motown through a particularly slow period of sales.

There's a Riot Goin' On confirmed the death of the '60s.  A response to Marvin Gaye's What's Goin' On, the Family Stone's fifth studio effort contains some dark social commentary.  Lead man Sly recorded many of the vocal tracks whilst lying in bed, lending a detached performance to match the cynical lyrics.  The sonic texture is dominated by Larry Graham's funky bass licks, Sly's impeccable synth tones, and peak-induced distortion.  It's hard to pick one song from the 12-track LP; every cut is gem.
