thanks for the info. it's reassuring to know they're not letting good songs like that become shelved.

Has the best version of Vogue, IMO.

And Rescue Me.. the first verse, lol.

Take Time

^I like that song

The lineup: James Poyser and Khari Ferrari Mateen (music, production), Domini Quinn SupaStar (vocals).

The background: Do Outkast have a new album out? If you heard any of the songs from Love & War, the debut album by the Rebel Yell, coming out your radio, you might indeed wonder if it was the latest work by the planet's favourite ATLiens. Or if Prince had unearthed some tracks from the vaults circa Around the World in a Day. It's R&B on a Beatles tip, or a funked-up Fab Four at their most psychedelic. It's synthed-up soul and cosmic pop so liberally sprinkled with references to the decade of fingerless gloves and Day-Glo leggings that at least one reviewer has decided Love & War is a thematic celebration of 80s hits, a sort of Now That's What I Call New Wave Funk. Meanwhile, another has placed it in the same category as Neon Neon's DeLorean-inspired 80s fest, Stainless Style. We would also propose Devin Dazzle and the Neon Fever, the 2004 album of 80s-style electro-pop by Felix Da Housecat, as a record the Rebel Yell – the latest brainchild of Grammy-winning songwriter-producer-keyboardist James Poyser (Common, Jill Scott, Mariah, Erykah Badu) plus sometime Roots member Mateen and singer SupaStar – must surely have played before embarking on their Love & War project.

I like the instrumental demo more.



It would have been cool to have as an interlude.
