Ben Talmi and KAMAU slow OutKast’s Hey Ya way down and infuse the track with a much more reflective time signature. I love the original version well enough but this right here is doing the most.

“Ya’ll don’t give a damn, ya’ll just wanna’ dance.”

This interpretation is a example of what you’ll experience on brother KAMAU’s deput A Gorgeous Fortune EP out now. The EP feature six creative and wonderfully bohemian soul tinged songs. I am going to keep my ear to the rail awaiting more from this artist. I dig. Also, make sure to heck out the tracklisting down, way down below. Peace.

Hey Ya Lyrics:
 
My baby don’t mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure.
Uh, but does she really wanna
But can’t stand to see me
Walk out the door.
Don’t try to fight the feelin’
‘Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Uh, thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
‘Cause we don’t know how

Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.

You think you’ve got it
Oh, you think you’ve got it
But got it just don’t get it
‘Til there’s nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But sex always better when there’s feelings involved
If what they say is “Nothing is forever”
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes love the exception
So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
When we know we’re not happy here…
Y’all don’t give a damn, ya’lljust wanna dance

Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.
Hey… ya.
Hey ya.

We rose like a rose from a stone under flourescent light
Love like glass in the water and we thought it was ice
Cold like earth when it froze unforgiven forgiven for it was dead from the go
We gets under the vultures confused it for mistletoe
We jump into the ocean without learning how to float.
