OT - What are you listening to right now?


Recommended Posts

It's not at all a criticism. I'm all for people channeling Prince. It's the reason I think The Element of Freedom is easily Alicia Keys' best album. For example:

Also, "Yamaha" by The-Dream is a total homage to "Little Red Corvette."

The only great track on the last Joe record is also totally copping the Prince thing.

Despite the considerable cheese on this album -- or perhaps, in part, because of -- I still enjoy it. Definitely that last great album Sting made. David Sancious on (sometimes dated-sounding) keys, and Vinnie C. with absolutely cracking snare sounds.

I'm going to double dip here. I've been listening to some songs that don't have keyboard tracks, but I my own interpretation of them using keyboards. I think they are nicely written and moving. Lately I'm focusing on songwriting and my own take on covers.

Decided to bust out some old vinyl last night and have been on a roll.

 

Among those that still blow my mind are Frank Zappa's Envelopes off "ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch".
