What we’re listening to right now.
These two tracks have got us going C R A Z Y….. We just wanted to share them with you dear Representers. LISTEN NOW! Kanye West has outdone himself on the massive chart-climbing hit, AMERICAN BOY where he collaborates with British soul singer Estelle . It’s a gorgeous playful conversation between Kanye and Estelle that plays on the US and UK accents and references… Catchy, funk-driven, soulful, bringing out the dance moves… American Boy will without a doubt be one of the global hits of 2008. “Take me on a trip I’d like to go some day… Take me to New York I’d like to see LA…” Put it on to get the dancefloor bouncing! Click here to listen NOW or watch the video below. By the way,let the song play on into her second song ‘Wait a minute -Just a Touch’, how similar is the beat to TofoTofo by Pitch Black Afro??? Please educate us if it’s a sample they’ve both used.
Then, we can’t stop whistling the refrain from the hit track Young Folks, coming from the simply named Swedish trio Peter Bjorn and John . Our only question is who sings the lady’s voice in this all male band? Visit their MYSPACE site and take a listen to YOUNG FOLKS, which bears the accolade of being Apple’s iTune song of the year in 2007. Or watch the video below.
