Tune-Yards is this fierce female musical poet Merrill Garbus; we'd hate to call her a rapper because it would be categorically incorrect, but she's got some fast-ass chops on her. Her lyrics have the poetry of some souped-up literato rap, but the melody of an energetic electro-pop anthem, and it definitely comes out in her new song, "Real Thing."
Tune-Yards is this fierce female musical poet Merrill Garbus; we'd hate to call her a rapper because it would be categorically incorrect, but she's got some fast-ass chops on her. Her lyrics have the poetry of some souped-up literato rap, but the melody of an energetic electro-pop anthem, and it definitely comes out in her new song, "Real Thing." It's one of those songs that gets your blood pumping, and puts weird, kinky thoughts in your head with its intense, static-y drum loops and groovy bassline. If we could tell you to play it anywhere, at any time, we'd suggest blasting it as you peel away from work on Friday, speeding further away from your desk and closer to your weekend, because this shit is saucy.
