Something very fun with a little touch of jazzy piano came into my life yesterday and I can't get it out of my head, so I thought I would share it with y'all. If you don't know how much I love dance music with a little instrumentation in it... consider this your warning. On my first listen it was obvious that it was sampling an old favourite of mine. Heavily. And I'm totally okay with that! In fact I wish she had put in a bit of the vocals but thats ok, I'll leave the original here for you to use your imagination and do a little remix with your mind project. On a side note, God bless Larry Levan.
The Black Madonna runs Smart Bar in Chicago and seems like a pretty awesome lady. First of all she's white, so don't get it twisted. Her mother loved the painting and she wanted to pay tribute to that. Isn't that sweet? She's playing here in Toronto soon (May 8th) at The Black Eagle and I plan to be there, and after these little ditties so will you.
The Black Madonna - Exodus
The Black Madonna - Stay
and heres where it is sampled from. LOVE this tune. Ok its not the ORIGINAL... but it's all that matters.
