Song of the Day (Get Lucky) 04.26.13

Felize Viernes!

We've made it to the last Friday in April! Shit - where is time going? Seriously. Summer is right around the corner, as is my quarter-century birthday (ahhh).

I'm on a bit of a time crunch, since I have to pack for an abbreviated trip to the Caribbean this weekend - so I'm not going to dive into the usual lengthy explanations for the songs today, but don't worry, I have two awesome jams for you.

The first one everyone should recognize. I posted it two weeks ago as a sample. And I will admit, the full song did actually drop last week, but I didn't want to post it two weeks in a row (could be a bit of overkill). When I first posted the sample, I said this album was going to change things. Possibly forever. And I still stand by that. But after finally hearing this new song, there is no way it won't become the song of the summer. This thing is about to explode (and kind of already has). It's going to be all over the place. So be prepared. It's full of funk, soul, a little electronica. Everything you could ask for in a song. This is Daft Punks' "Get Lucky."





The next song is also very new. Literally dropped three days ago. I don't know much about the artist, but what I do know, I love. Her style. Her voice. Her music. A splash of attitude. Everything is just great. Now, this isn't as much a song you can groove to like the last couple I've posted, but damn, does this one have some funk to it. And of course, with any level of funk, you can get down - I just haven't figured out how I would to this song yet.

Kind of like the last song, look out for this artist to explode soon - it's almost her time. This is Janelle Monae with "Q.U.E.E.N."

Like oooh, let them eat cake.
