Wearing a fur on the beach…She already recreated/reenvisioned/reconstructed this song. I hope you’re still not sleeping on this talented artist. “…oh baby, you make me feel so good, come let me take you by the hand…”

When I first purchased Mos Def’s The New Danger, I only knew one song, “The Boogieman Song,” because i would listen to the entire album front to back. Most of my friends yearned for a retread of Black On Both Sides, and I was on an island liking this album. With that said, it was not until Mara Hruby covered this song that I knew it’s title, just because I listened to that album back to front. Download her EP “From Her Eyes” here.

Mara brings a new sensual beauty to the track, as she transforms it into a song that rivals one of my all time favorites “Take Off Your Cool,” by Andre 3000 (which she also covers, and I previously posted in sort). Well enjoy, a song that fits that early morning blury eyed smile, that late night after show/game/movie/coffee house move toward home, and that that comes after.
