A while back we waxed lyrical about the very extremely beautiful cut by Mayer Hawthorne “Henny & Gingerale”. We dug it because somehow it had a little bit of retro joy that reminded us of Marvin Gaye’s super party jam “Got To Give It Up”.
As without him it’s highly unlikely we’d have our current go to office jam Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke which obviously tips it hat to the disco-funk vibes of Marvin’s 1977 classic Got to Give It Up.
Hot Damn. How much good R&B music is doing the rounds at the moment?! Frank Ocean and Miguel were on many a taste-makers best of 2012 lists and it looks like we’re in store for more goodness this year with new records expected from old faithfuls D'Angelo (fingers crossed) and Bilal.
You would have had to be living under a rock for the past couple of years to be unaware of what a Gotye is. But, for the uninformed, it’s a 32 year old, dorkishly handsome, pumpkin pie gobbling, Belgian beer connoisseur whose first two records got a little radio time over at the Js and on community radio.
