My love of today’s Song of the Day begs the question ‘Am I indeed one-sixteenth black hip-hop star?’ I’d been going through life believing I was Irish, all freckles and translucent skin, never realising my inner R’n'B freak.
I couldn't control the magnets attached to my limbs.
I always knew there was more too me than jigs and reels though, in fairness.
Growing up, Destiny’s Child were the be all and end all of music. Beyonce was my hero and her silky smooth southern drawl kept me in studio albums all through my teens. Since then, my musical taste has somewhat evolved. But I must admit, nothing gets me going like a good aul hip-hop tune, complete with a good, danceable beat and a bit of quality rapping. Yes, that ‘ho deserved it. No I will not holster my weapon.
Song of the Day for today goes to one Tinie Tempah for the dancefloor stomp-fest Pass Out. And today’s award for Most Ridiculous Music Industry Name goes to…
Enjoy. Don’t be afraid to let your head swing and your hips get loose and really enjoy the way the song gets you moving. If it doesn’t encite any movement whatsoever, go back to the University. The Dean of the School of Boring is about to offer you tenure.
