Heartbreaker
A little slow on the posts of late as photography work has taken up most of my time. And I’m moving apartments today (from the Financial District to the West Village) so this might be the last post for a few days. I’m actually sitting in my apartment waiting for the movers, so I thought I’d get in a quick entry before they arrive and tear down the place. I also need to put in a tribute to my man Michael Jackson.
But today we’re covering MSTRKRFT’s new track, ‘Heartbreaker’, featuring John Legend. For those of you not acquainted with MSTRKRFT, they are an electronic duo from Canada, mainly known for their kick ass remixes. They have put out two albums, the latest of which, ‘Fist of God’, was released this past March. ‘Heartbreaker’ is a track off of the album with a completely different sound than typical MSTRKRFT fare, and by that I mean soft, not distorted and syncopated electro beats. It’s more dance with rock than the other way around as it used to be, and Legend’s voice brings a nice soulful, R&B flavor to the song. The track even has ballad like pianos. The video is pretty funny too, about a guy who likes a sales clerk girl.
