Lots of mainstream stuff this week, alongside a couple of surprise additions from the hip-hop world and the celebrity world.

Also, soul heads should check out a great cover of Maxwell’s Pretty Wings, and a remix of Mayer Hawthorne’s No Strings.

Quincy Jones, B.o.B, T.I., Prince Charlez and Mohombi-Sanford and Son

: November 2, 2010


I assume this is from Quincy’s upcoming Soul Bossa Nostra album, which seems to be packed full of huge collaborations. This one samples Quincy’s own Sandford & Son theme song, which is probably best known within our generation for featuring in The Simpsons.

It’s given a very hip-hop twist for the verses, with Tip and Bob coming through with decent, if unspectacular, verses. Mohombi delivers a hook that opens this track up to a mainstream audience, which will certainly be the key feature of this track. One for the pop fans.

Quincy Jones and Akon-Strawberry Letter 23 Video

: April 16, 2010

I really like this track. You may recall it being (mistakenly) credited to Akon in a previous R&B Friday: it is in fact a track from legendary producer (possibly the greatest ever?) Quincy Jones’ upcoming project.

One of the more replayable R&B tracks of recent months, and the video is a nice fit for the lyrics.
