ERYKAH BADU レコード& CD

Review: Brand new remixes by Kero One of three classic tracks from Common, Erykah Badu, and Andre 3000. The remixed tracks are dance
floor friendly but maintain that jazzy, feel good funky soul that Kero One is known for. The EP includes 5 tracks with plenty of live
instrumentation (Fender Rhodes, Fender Bass, Jazz guitar, vintage synths, etc.). Concept: Common, Erykah, and Andre of Outkast
all shared the same passion, the passion to make good music. Additionally, Common and Andre 3000 shared something else in common:
Erykah Badu. They did however have differences, as their romantic relationships with each other didn't last long. Kero One attempts to
sort out the differences, bringing them together for one last time to shine on the same record, 'The Love Triangle EP', out on Plug.

Review: Compared to the freeform styles of the Leave Talking 10", the star spot on Rocket Juice & The Moon's "Manuela" by Erykah Badu drives the free-flowing funk of the supergroup (made up of Damon Albarn, Flea and Tony Allen) into a cheeky and mildly dubby pop nugget with a shuffly rhythm to it. Badu is on fine form as ever, lending her coolly delivered-tones to the stripped down track in that disarmingly natural way of hers. Mark Ernestus gets drafted in for a dub version which may surprise his fans as the original remains thoroughly intact, especially in terms of the drums, instead focusing on the freeform synth warbles to provide the centre-point of the track.
