Kanye West’s “Good Friday” MP3 Is Ready For You
Sat Sep 11 2010 by Idolator Staff
Kanye West seemed so fixated on New York Fashion Week and his missing antique fish tank that, for a brief moment, we weren't sure he'd be able to keep up with his scheduled weekly song giveaway. (Even Kanye seemed uncertain). But who are we kidding? 'Ye is on fire right now, and seems incapable of letting us down. Last night he posted his third G.O.O.D. Friday track, a vintage jam that, like mixtape track "Wylin 'Cause I'm Young", features Kid Cudi... along with four(!) other artists. Listen below as Kanye reminds you that it's Fashion Week: More »
PHOTOS: John Legend And The Roots’ “Wake Up Everybody” Video
Mon Aug 16 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
At first glance, you might not recognize John Legend in those tight bell bottoms and suede vest, but the 70s soul attire is integral to the superstar’s new music video, featuring The Roots, Melanie Fiona, and Common. The bass-heavy “Wake Up Everybody” is the kickoff for Wake Up!” a new collection of jams by Legend and the Late Night house band. Inspired by the socially conscious soul of the 60s and 70s, the album is due Sept. 21.
The video was recently shot in Brooklyn by director Gil Green and the video’s ’70s vibe (with a little Do The Right Thing kick) fits perfectly with this cover of the Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes classic. Check out this exclusive behind the scenes look at “Wake Up Everybody” in the making. Just how will this throwback clip all tie together? We’ll just have to wait till the music video’s released on iTunes tomorrow to see. And for even more on set pics click here and here. More »
