in which we discuss yet another cover of willow smith’s timeless dance hall anthem that leaves the original so far in the dust it’s hard to remember it exists at all.

also, i adore this trend of actual artists covering top 40 nonsense. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: the best way to undermine a crap song is to validate it completely. mocking something stupid by making something wonderful out of it. i’m so glad i was born in a post-modern world.

okay, bear with me here: yes, it is a cover of that atrocious willow smith song. and yes, it takes them a bit to get going, but stick with it. by verse 2, you’ll be all in. according to the artist, it’s actually a mashup w/ a track of theirs called ‘drowning in blood’, which i haven’t heard. but if the tune is quality enough to not only save that willow smith disaster from its irritating self, but to elevate it to something that’s actually enjoyable, the band deserves not only our patronage, but our sincerest gratitude. -d (from RCRDLBL)
