Mac DeMarco “Baby’s Wearin Blue Jeans” Posted: 05 Jan 2012 09:23 PM PST After a few years spent fronting lo-fi Canadian outfit Makeout Videotape (check out the band’s music here), Montreal-based vocalist/ guitarist Mac DeMarco has opted to step out on his own, signing with New York indie label Captured Tracks with plans to drop solo EP Rock and Roll Night Club on March 20th. “Baby’s Wearin Blue Jeans” is one of the cuts to be featured on the upcoming mini-collection and boy it’s an entrancing one, rocking some waterlogged-woozy indie-rock swagger as a delectable frame for DeMarco’s obsession over a woman who wears her denim quite well. With his bluesy, Elvis-esque baritone helping strike up a devilish nocturnal allure amid the track’s distortion-veiled supply of chugging bass and drunken flickers of guitar, DeMarco finds himself completely enraptured by the vision of his lady “in a pair of Lee’s”, the fact that he only just seemed to meet (and quickly bed) her doing little to halt his fantasies of them being together “forever”…that is, of course, if she agrees to his one coolly delivered request: “Don’t take off those jeans”.

The-Dream “ROC” Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:19 PM PST “Roc”, the sex-obsessed lead single from The-Dream‘s upcoming fourth installment to his Love album series The Love, IV: Diary of A Madman, probably won’t go down as an essential part of the hitmaker’s catalog when all is said and done, but following last year’s excellent freebie album release 1977, where the singer-songwriter-producer used his signature chirp, brain-sticking vocal melodies and gorgeous sonic palette to mostly push post-break-up mope-woes, hearing him once again use his powers for the synth-glossed booty jam fare that helped make him one of the past decade’s strongest R&B male players does land like a breath of fresh air. As with most Dream tunes of this ilk, the lyrical content can be simply reduced to “I wanna do it to you all kinds of freaky ways”, and, as always, it’s the highly polished sound of the track that will make it a favorite bump n grind cut for the moment, the groove’s throbbing churn of keyboards, electric guitar and Spanish guitar seduction hearkening back to those old ’90′s days when Jodeci and Silk were the guys getting your girls in a baby-making mood. The-Dream – ROC
