MIXTAPE: “I Want You” - Theophilus London

YES! THE DAY HAS COME. Theophilus’s new mixtape is out! (I feel like I say this every time I post his music, but…) If you don’t know about Theophilus London yet, you’re way behind. Dude is able to mix classic songs and modern day hip hop to create a perfect blend of soul, funk, electronic, and rap. If the future contains more music like this, the world is going to good places. Or let’s just say my ears will be very happy.

Here’s what Theophilus had to say about the tape:

“That is all and this is it: inspired by Marvin Gaye’s self-imposed European exile and controversial performance of the national anthem at the 1983 NBA All Star game, I WANT YOU is a collection of dark jams that restlessly examines the promise of love beyond lifestyle. Touching on LA electrofunk, UK indie, tropical escapade and obscure afropop you never knew existed, these are stories from the way we live now: missed connections and misunderstandings, video chats and retweets, returns and deliverables. We know today is all black everything but more to the point: this is now noir as we know it.”
