RDV au Bar ?

Michael passed on Thursday afternoon. By concert time that evening, artists were already beginning to bust out Jackson songs in tribute, a trend that only intensified over the weekend. So here are some of those live covers, recordings of tributes performed since Jackson’s death. They’re in turns emotional, joyous, spontaneous, and apologetic.

Duffy – Billie Jean

Ne-Yo & Jamie Foxx – I’ll Be There (Jackson 5)

David Garrett – Smooth Criminal

AYO – I Want You Back (Jackson 5)

Martin Sexton – Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

Christian Larke – Black or White

Bonheur, Amour et Cannes à sucre !
Le calypso est à l'origine du ska à la fin des années 1950, et de la soca dans
les années70. Lorsqu'on sait l'importance qu'eut le SKA sur la scène Punk-Rock
Londonienne, on ne peut qu'écouter ce mix avec respect.

Oui, Respect pour Robert Mitchum et Harry Belafonte !!!

Quant à Busta Rhymes, dans quelles eaux dithyrambiques plongerons-nous à son sujet ?

There are no tricks on Au Revoir Simone’s third album, Still Night, Still Light, just Heather D’Angelo, Erika Forster and Annie Hart’s sweet harmony, their keyboards and drums whittling holes into a starless sky.  It is both lonely and very, very, lovely.

Listen: Au Revoir Simone Grateful

Their glorious reputation precedes them. The Kanye West affiliation. The production work for the likes of Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and John Legend. The Japan-only limited run vinyl EP pressings. Reuniting with Ubiquity after five years, the L.A.-based Sa-Ra Creative Partners deliver their sophomore full-length in the form of these 17 supercalifunky tracks. Wedged between sleaze and supernatural, Nuclear Evolution drops bombs on the sonic spectrum, from sun-bleached bossa nova (“Spacefruit”), glitchy instrumental funk romps (“Move Your Ass”), and boom bip Iceberg Slim fables (“Traffika”). With assists from Badu (“Dirty Beauty”), veteran saxophonist Gary Bartz, and newcomer Noni Lamar (“I Swear”), this megawatt thumper further cements Sa-Ra’s status as preeminent innovators of tomorrow’s soundscapes

Kingston, Jamaica-based artist Terry Lynn teamed up with production aficionado Johan Hugo (of globally inspired dance duo Radioclit) for this track, a number commissioned by a rather well-known export of Jamaica, Red Stripe Beer. The hip-hop-meets-dancehall "Jamaican Girls" is one of five tunes available on the project's album, It was Written.
