CMU Approved
Approved: The Internet – Special Affair
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 4 June 2015
Odd Future offshoot The Internet, led by OF’s Syd Tha Kyd and Matt Martians, this week announced that they will release their third album, ‘Ego Death’, on 30 Jun.
The album will feature guest appearances from Janelle Monáe, Tyler The Creator, Vic Mensa, Kaytranada, James Fauntleroy and Steve Lacy, but the track that accompanied the announcement, ‘Special Affair’, was pure unadulterated Internet.
Driven by an infectious bassline, the band’s slow funk slinks up behind Syd’s vocals to match the mood of her lyrics. Listen to ‘Special Affair’ here:
