Did you know that Aloe Blacc dropped a new EP yesterday (Sept. 24)? Me neither. But he did and it’s anchored by title track “Wake Me Up” that I guess is a collaboration with that guy Avicii. I have probably heard that song at some point, but I’m more interested in Blacc’s non-EDM goings on like “Love Is The Answer”. This cut is also off the EP and it’s on that throwback funk/R&B tip. There are blasts of brass, a catchy hook featuring back-up vocals, and a steady, groovin’ beat. Man, I seriously feel like Aloe Blacc doesn’t get the love he deserves on a bigger scale. Oh, and that beat? Pharrell produced it. Yeah.
You can hear “Love Is The Answer” below and buy the EP on Amazon. [via]
Oooooh gotcha, thanks Anon!
Even though it’s only 4 songs, I’m really diggin’ this EP. I would have completely missed it if you hadn’t posted this. By the way, I wouldn’t characterize anything on this EP as EDM. From what I can gather, an EDM version of Wake Me Up was released separately by Avicii (whoever the hell that is).
