Having just seen Flying Lotus live at this year’s Movement Electronic Music Festival right here in Detroit, Michigan, I’m an even bigger fan of his than before. He seems to really just take a unique perspective on production and creates some of the more interesting and diverse sounds that just feel downright refreshing. When you team up that production with the vocals of Thundercat (whose slick bass playing was featured on Flying Lotus’s Cosmogramma), you wind up with one of the slickest tunes I’ve heard in some time. As in I want to listen to this song over and over and over again. Because you know that each time you listen to this, you’re going to hear one more tiny little piece of the puzzle that was so carefully crafted. And Thundercat’s vocals and bass are the perfect accompaniment to this starry, soulful little number — a cover of George Duke’s “For Love I Come”. The slightly blown out production even gives this song a distinctly vintage feel, and if the beginning is just a touch too slow for you, just wait for the jazz drums to take things over. The fact that Flying Lotus produced the upcoming Thundercat album The Golden Age Of The Apocalypse means that this has officially become one of my most anticipated albums of the year, judging by the awesomeness contained in the track below.
