I truly love this cat.. but this cut is not a song... IT'S A REMIX!. Tell me I am wrong? 50 bucks says a white dude shot the video..Very art schoolish// though well produced/finished. It's Your World is an album I listen/play part of weekly..
A lot different than I would have expected, but great, nonetheless. Looking forward to the album in February.

ReplyDeleteThis is 21st Century Gil, brah. He hooked up with some British cats who put a whole new sound behind him.
Can't wait to consider the album as a whole.
