Adrian Younge - "A Música Na Minha Fantasia"

Producer Adrian Younge has announced the third part of his psychedelic soul trilogy Something About April III (looks like we have some homework for parts I and II...) and released a single from the album. "A Música Na Minha Fantasia" is almost impossibly cool sounding. The entire song sounds like a combination of a Wu-Tang Clan sample and a lost gem included in a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack. It's a laid back song that grooves incredibly hard. Adrian Younge has crafted a song that epitomizes that 70's retro cool that we had in the 90's while updating it for this century. I can guarantee that as soon as you're done listening to "A Música Na Minha Fantasia" obsessively, you're going to dive right into the first two parts of the trilogy.

Adrian Younge says of his latest single:

“A Música Na Minha Fantasia' is one of the first songs I created for SAA III because I needed to start the album with vigor and purpose. It’s a song I love so much because it’s the first time I really heard my psychedelic Adrian Younge sound come to life with authentic Brazilian vocals in Portuguese. Particularly, I like to create the kind of sound that hip hop producers and record collectors scour the world for when looking for that perfect sample. This song is the first time I’m bringing the Adrian Younge version of that sound to Brazil.”
