Who's Sweat is This?


Been breathing the beat of 70's funk soul lately. Great stuff is out from Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse, Jay-Z, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings - all worth your dime.

But I'd like to highlight Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigator's Keep Reachin' Up, a collection of songs sure to get your heart racin' and toes tappin'. It's a sweat stain of an album.

A what?

You know the kind of album that creates sweat stains in the armpits of your neatly pressed white undershirt, purchased from the Gap for a cool $16 ($12 if you buy 3, which you know I did!)

You're an idiot.

That I may be, but this funk fusion of deliriously delicious vocals, floor moppin' horns, booty-grindin' bass lines, and 'put yo ass to bed drummin' has me not givin' a fuck.

This is the most self-indulgent shit you've ever squeezed out of your tight ass, GDumb!

You're right about that too, but I'm so busy dancin' the night away, I ain't got time to wipe my ass. Nicole Willis is in town and she's handin' out free dance lessons to fools with two left feets.

Wait a minute! Is that Hennessy over there defeatin' Ms. Willis' musical notes with his white boy interruptation of Soulja Boy's Crank That hop-step? Butler represent!

And ain't that Greasebox invadin' all corners of the dancefloor with the Rudi Rude Boy? You bet it is!

Oh hell no! JDot just got up on stage breakin' out the Mike D hand dance and shit. Could the...yup! Here it comes...he's pullin' out the jingles jerries binoculars and liftin' our eyes to the sky Har Mar style!

This party is off the hook, y'all!!!!!!!

End this please.

Not before you buy Nicole Willis and the Soul Investigator's Keep Reachin' Up - Yeah, I Figured's Spin of the Week.

I'll be the first to comment that I've run out of ideas for the week.

Sorry y'all have to suffer this.

JDot said...

Brilliant!

I'd love to go to a show where Greasbox dropped some moves and I was drunk enough to get on stage and Hand Dance it.

Great article. Send me this album, K?
Thx.
