I tend to listen to a lot of electronic music and lately Nicolas Jaar‘s hynotic sounds have cast a spell on me. To be so young yet so brilliant at the tender age of 22 in a genre much older than himself is astonishing. I enjoy his minimalist take and this particular track ‘And I Say’ embodies a lot of sexiness without being overpowering with the beats. The vocals are by Scout LaRue, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis. Here’s what Nicolas had to say on their collaboration: “…we had this strange, baroque, almost Shakespearian idea of this queen and this story of a strange forbidden love in the middle ages. I tried to make the track sexier and sexier. We just wanted to imbue as much desire and sex into it as possible.”
Seven in the morning, gotta wake up, look like my name
I have a bath and oil my skin, my hair done like a lion’s mane
My corset’s laced up nice and tight
Diamonds, pearls, they feel alright
When I see you standing there
The evening sun upon your hair
Covered up with garden dirt
With just one glance you tear my skirt
And I say…
