As I mentioned in the previous post, Kimbra is my current infatuation. I may not have done many posts the past few months but, rest assured, anybody who has crossed my path has had the 21-year-old New Zealand singer's musical morsels forced upon them.
Tracks from the forthcoming Basement Jaxx album have been trickling on to the interwebs, including some mouth-watering collaborations.
The first of these is a track with Santigold (RIP Santo) called 'Saga'. At first, I was a little bit disappointed. I felt the track didn't quite live up to the billing, mainly because it sounds exactly like the stuff from Santi's 2008 album. I still stand by that assertion but the track has grown on me something shocking.
Behold:
Another track, 'Feeling's Gone', which surfaced yesterday, features Sam Sparro on vocal duties. This track is a bit more typical of Basement Jaxx: a sprightly dance-pop number with everything but the cats-in-sinks thrown into the production. Once again, I wasn't sure what to make of this at first but, after a couple of listens, I'm sold.
Looking forward to hearing it in better quality:
Already looking forward to seeing The Jaxx at Electric Picnic.
