To check out this week's free downloads, follow the JUMP:
———————————————————————————
Goldfrapp – Rocket (Grum Remix): Goldfrapp's latest single goes from cheesy eighties vibe to club candy in this new remix by Grum. Does it get any better than this? It does not, my friend. Will I be dancing in my underwear to this with a cute man-friend this weekend? I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.
———————————————————————————
Mary J. Blige – I Am (Electrolightz Remix): You know I love me some Mary J. Blige, but "I Am" definitely wouldn't make the list of my favorite songs by her. Producer Electrolightz has proven that it could have been a lot better without such bland, radio-ready production. Go hard, Mary!
———————————————————————————
Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings – I Learned The Hard Way: Um, are we back in the Motown days or what? Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings are one of the best acts in the soul revival movement, because they somehow manage to sound like it's not a revival at all.
———————————————————————————
Wu Tang Clan f/ ODB & Bad Luck – Early Grave: What would Wu Tang sound like if Ol' Dirty Bastard were still alive? Our guess is that they'd probably sound something like this. Because your playlist could use a little hip-hop to round it out…
That Mary J track is sick. Thank you!
