This is weird: French hip-hop producer, Jean-Christophe Le Saout (aka Wax Tailor), is releasing "Say Yes," the lead single off his third album, In The Mood For Life, as a dual-layer compact disc/miniature-vinyl.
Huh?
Yes, it's a little black disc that can be played in your compact disc player or on your turntable. Has this been done before? I don't know. Maybe. I guess Wax Tailor loves both formats equally, and he wants you to love them, too. At the same time. This will either be seen as a godsend or a horrific torture device to certain audiophiles. Which sounds better: the CD or the vinyl?! I just think it's sort of neat: a trick to play at parties.
The song features A State of Mind rapping over Wax Tailor's usual blend of hip-hop, funk, jazz, and pop. I think the rhymes, lyrical flow, and overall look of ASM are pretty weak, but I can dig Wax Tailor's production, even though Digable Planets and A Tribe Called Quest did it better.
