HERE COMES EVERYONE POST: Single of the Week

Beastie Boys feat. Santigold – ‘Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win’

This year has seen the Beastie Boys return with an outstanding new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part II. This new single from the album, featuring the sultry, versatile vocal talent of Santigold, continues the group’s excellent return to form with a mellow, chilled-out, summery track. Heavily influenced by Santigold’s music style, the track not only features her vocals prolifically, but it also has the smooth yet hip reggae/R&B crossover rhythms and instrumentation evident in her debut eponymous album. The Beastie Boys mainly provide their idiosyncratic vocal stylings as backing, but they have also thrown in some fantastically merged samples, and the track still has that genius Beastie Boys vibe.
