[MP3] Marvin Gaye – Ain’t That Peculiar (Oddisee remix) from Odd Renditions

What could have been? Spotted this one on the homie, Roget’s Facebook page. Soul legend Marvin Gaye singing over a 2012 beat, produced by Oddisee and it actually works and sounds great! Read Oddisee speak on the Odd Renditions project it comes from here:

Before my new album “People Hear What They See” drops (pre-order it HERE now), I wanted to share some remixes & edits I put together of various tracks. I created four unofficial remixes of songs by K-Os, Bon Iver, Metronomy & one of my favorite artists of all time, Marvin Gaye. After recording vocals to all of them, I felt it was only right to slap a cover on it & release it.

Tracklist:
1. Paralyzed
2. The Gold Is Mine
3. Ain’t That Peculiar
4. Man I Use To Be
