10 Songs: Saturday, November 8th, 2014
do I sound like an Iggy to you?
1. JFK – Azealia Banks, Theophilus London – One is the worst tempered rapper named Azealia in the business, the other a close buddy of Kanye, together this is so hip it would make your teeth grind if the sample wasn’t so spritely and the raps so incisive. I am sick to death of the RZA school of ambient sample, this is just a terrific change – A-
2. High School Confidential – Live At The Star Club – Jerry Lee Lewis – Immaculate version of the heavy duty piano rocker, best version I’ve ever heard in fact – A+
3. Give Him a Great Big Kiss – Bette Midler – Great song, good version – B
4. 212 – Azealia Banks – Terrific song, made her a legend, it’s all in the backbeat of course – B+
5. I Wish – Stevie Wonders – I always seem to think Jimmy Ruffin is about to start singing – A
7.Contusion – Stevie Wonder – Stevie channels Chick Corea – A-
8. If You Go Away – Bobby Goldsboro – Buuuuuuuut if you staaaaaaay – B
9. Real Love – Tom Odell – Pretty good version of nothing much Lennon track found in the cupboard – B
10. I’m Just Like You – 6ix – I love these guys, they are like the Family Stone without Sly – B+
