https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-1Qt-7_xq0

according to noz its getting adds at urban radio. excellent pop radio vibes tho.

I CANNOT WATCH THIS FUCK YOU RECORD LABEL WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST CANADA

lol wtf

double lol wtf @ the traktor drop-in from the top of the screen

kinda feeling this except for the "dubsteppy" parts

the piano riff is amazing, feel like it would be a perfectly good track w/o the "sick drops"

otoh i did just listen to it like five times in a row, thanks d

bump

this is great

a shame about the drops

great voice. but i'm still waiting for either an experience or piece of writing that turns me around on dubstep, because the music in itself never does it.

im ok w/ the drops b/c the song is so pop pretty much. i mean i think if it DIDNT have the drops it would be not weird enough, almost sounds like a Beck song

lol rockist!

i should clarify, it would be boring pop.

lol this kind of sounds like an early 2000s rjd2 track or something

but w/ dubstep

feel like "a shame about the drops" will be an increasingly common theme in '10s pop... like we're just at the tip of the iceberg now

ha guy i know had these guys out here for promotional stuff last week and asked me if i wanted to interview them and i was like wtf is watch the duck, no thanks, but i kinda like this

WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH WATCH WATCH WATCH
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH WATCH WATCH WATCH
WATCH THE DUCK
WATCH THE DUCK

when i heard the name and i think the guy described them as 'alternative hip hop' or something i was like oh this is some Flobots shit

it's no "watch my feet"

RJD2 is a funny comparison point, I was thinking more Moby b/c this seems more primed for like a Jetta commercial or something

i guess RJ did commercials too nm

more like a kids cereal commercial

The drops make me laugh. Shame, because it's interesting otherwise.

Yeah this seems like Moby dubstep. And reminds me that I probably would think of "Run On" and "Honey" quite fondly if that album had never taken off or released any more singles.

Some kind of wacky alt smart phone commercial I'm thinking, though I see both Jetta and Fruit Loops.

Deej what do you think of the big Rudimental drum & bass songs this year?

have not heard

link?

this is just pretty much like that Alex Clare song that's been a big hit or the past x months? "soulful" vocals + dubstep? i guess this is more at the "complextro" (lawl) end but same basic formula, right?

it's weird thinking about what Rudimental are now cause when I hear their name I still think of

woof that alex clare song is rough

am i going to regret endorsing this song

naw, i small-scale fux with the alex clare joint

i do have to lol at how much emphasis is placed on "CHECK IT OUT, WE DO THIS LIVE!" in the Watch the Duck video and also their terrible name

the alex clare song freaked me out when i first heard outside the context of that commercial cuz w/ the verses it's like mumford & sonstep

I would like to thank them for adding waveforms to the vid for a sec

Deej, e.g.:

i don't really watch tv like that so i didn't know it was a hit cause of a commercial xxp

rudimental track is tite

rudimental track is cool yah, i wouldnt say its completely my wheelhouse but that vocal style isnt really what i like about watch the duck either as much as it is the piano part

keep hearing "watch my feet" in my head except with "watch my duck" as the chorus

Dragon House dancers in that “Poppin Off” video, I recognize them from So You Think You Can Dance this past season, when Cyrus Spencer was the runner-up.
