J*DaVeY - "Mr. Mister"
06.25.2008
First single from The Beauty In Distortion EP
The Song:
A dance track too sexy for those with neck injuries or pregnancies, "Mr. Mister" reprograms the heartbeats of party-peoples with its geometric drums and seductive vocals. Anyone questioning the massive buzz surrounding J*DaVeY need look and listen no further than "Mr. Mister": the archetypal banger of soul's new wave. In the video, vocalist Jack Davey herself seduces a robot in several locations- from the bedroom in lingerie to the darkroom in neon makeup to the office where no one has noticed she's not wearing pants, Ms. Davey does her thing. Camera cuts and shadows of flames mimic the fierce production of Brook D'Leau, completing the puzzle of a sure-fire hit.
The Background:
With production ranging from the spastic, space-age drums of "Mr. Mister" to the celestial keys of "Might As Well," The Beauty In Distortion plays with the variance and depth of a polished, full album. On The Land of the Lost, producer-extraordinaire ?uestlove and Renaissance emcee Phonte of Little Brother contribute in an equally holistic compilation of futuristic records. Throughout the 23 tracks, two constants bind the project together in a mystical fashion: the steamy vocal musings of Jack Davey and the bleeps, drums, and melodies of Brook D'Leau.
Heralded as a cross between Prince and the B-52s, J*DaVeY is in fact influenced by too many genres to count. A fusion of funk, surf, soul, hip-hop, and electronic secret sauce, the J*DaVeY EPs will satiate starving fans from all ends of the musical spectrum. Already featured everywhere from Fader to Allure to CSI: New York, Jack and Brook are prepared to smoothly swagger into the limelight with their first major release. All ears not finely tuned to the freshly paved street will ring come July.
