poptimistsSo Keri Hilson recently contributed a track to the soundtrack for a random German film:
It pretty much hits the perfect sweet spot between current zeitgeist electro'n'b and '80s synthpop pastiche, and considering I've been disliking the former since summer (apparently there is such a thing as "too chintzy" even for me -- and trust me, that's saying something) and the latter is something I only rarely enjoy*, by all rights I shouldn't like this. AND YET I DO, in fact, I pretty much love it to ridiculous extents. I've listened to it literally 50 times in the last couple of days, ahaha.
(And on a completely shallow note, dere sweet god Keri's preposterously stunning in that video.)
*) of course, the exact vein of 80s synthpop it mines is the same one Jordin's Freeze did, which I last year realized is probably the single most powerfully formative sound of my developmental years, so that part of the equation working for me shouldn't be much of a surprise, after all
