British singer/ song writer James Blake
has decided to enlist the help of the always linguistically entertaining Chance
the Rapper for his remix of “Life Round Here”. With the hyper active and
somewhat incoherent flow of Chance, and James’ intoxicatingly intriguing
voice, this self-made remix has been ingrained in my head. The mysterious and
dark vibe that the song portrays creates an interesting aura for Chances’ unique
flow which in my opinion, sounds like the most organized/ intelligent drunk
rambling ever. It’s almost as if he effortlessly stumbles upon meticulously poetic
and unorthodox rhymes that work perfectly alongside this ominous beat. There
hasn’t been much done to the instrumentals other than the occasional drum but I
do enjoy the addition of Chance’s odd ball singing voice which, adds a bit of
rasp and ultimately something new to the always classic James Blake. When I
first saw this song pop on the interwebs I didn’t think the combo would work
and definitely thought it was a mash-up but it entranced me… and forced me to
listen to it all day.
