The 2nd coming of soul...
Aloe Blacc instantaneously engrossed me when I first heard his soulful track 'I need a dollar' on the hit HBO show "How To make it in America" . Soon after, I found myself scouring the internet for any and all information I could find about him. I stumbled across this, a beautiful rendition of Micheal Jackson's "Billie Jean". It's certainly an interesting take, the way he's stripped down the original embodiment to the basics, only leaving the soul. A slow walking bass-line, minimalist drum usage and Aloe Blacc's ardent vocals have created a cover that will stop you in your tracks
