Aloe Blacc

Aloe Blacc is an artist I've been on for the past couple months. The first time I heard him was singing the theme song to "How to Make It In America" (which happened to star my boo Cudi) and I had forgot about him for a while. Sometime back in October, I happened to hear "I Need A Dollar" over the loud speaker at work. Immediately I went home and searched for anything and everything that I could by him.


He has this old school 60's/70's type of sound. Big on horns, jazz and that big band sound. When you hear him, it takes you back to 70's red-light basement red-light where you've been slow dancing with the same person all night. You know that this person that you've locked eyes with for the past 3-4 hours is your soul mate and that there's no one comparable to them... Whew did I just have a flashback there? Anyway, the following songs are my favorites, hopefully you feel the same way I did when I first played them.

Enjoy...

I Need A Dollar
Femme Fatale
Loving You Is Killing Me
Find A Way
What's Your Name (<--- My absolute favorite. I wanna have a rain session to this song on repeat. OH!)
