Jam of the Week!
‘Been jamming Hiatus Kaiyote’s LP heavy this week. The flavours of this Aussie (yet again!) nu-soul/R&B quartet are so damn fresh! Despite the evident skillset, it never feels forced or overly calculated. Instead we get vibes. All the vibes. Turn it up and close your eyes. Mavin’s virtuoso keyboard licks leap around on the bed hands held tight with Nai Palm’s tasteful guitar work. If you don’t listen too hard, it’s almost easy to ignore all the awesome that Moss & Bender provide as the rhythm section. Nai Palm’s vocal chops, apparently influenced by the likes of Mr. Wonder, Ms. Badu et al ice the cake… and boy, does it taste good!
Interviewer: When you talk about “gods and earths” and “mathematics” what are you talking about?
Erykah Badu: I’m talking about the teachings of Clarence X. He came from the Nation of Islam, and he founded an organization called the Five Precent Nation, which means five percent in the sense that five percent of the people in the world have knowledge of self and understand like we understand. Ten percent profit off of that information and just preach it to gain fame for themselves. Eighty-five percent follow or don’t know or don’t care. So that’s the percentage part. I thought that was a smart philosophy.
