My dear friend Bradley Keys, hip hop artist extraordinaire, is kind enough to put together playlists for his lucky friends, of the best and brightest new music getting proper play on the music blogs of the moment.
He knows how much I love that T.I. song “Whatever You Like” so imagine my delight when a cover by the honey-voiced Anya Marina was listed.
It. Is. Amazing. And, when sung all fabulous French lounge-y (read: the lyrics are sung much too slow to be ignored), it sounds a bit raunchy, I’ll admit. But, I love her version even better than the original.
(An aside: My love for hip hop, and often, like, seriously hard core rap songs has baffled my friends for years. It’s the beat, I explain, it’s the music. Coming from someone who counts Mozart among her favorite musicians, it’s puzzling, for sure).
