Looking forward to this. This song is excellent.



I thought his last album he did with Brian Eno was really cool. Some great songs on that one.

Yeah, that sounds really good. I've been hankering after something more like Graceland, I loved those South African grooves; this seems similar.

Yeah apparently the whole album has a bit of a Graceland vibe. I think he even has some of the same musicians playing on it.

Great stuff. It's looking to be a really good year for music.

it's more like effortless singing but yeah, the goodies are more in the arrangements and lyrics than in his voice.

I don't mind the talky thing, it suits him (and he always did it to some extent) but yeah, would be nice if he sang a bit more. He's older though, and I find the transition from a younger style to this *way* more effective and seamless than, for example, Ed's.
