[MP3] Diana Ross Feat. Tame Impala – Turn Up The Sunshine
Motown legend and disco icon, Diana Ross and Kevin Parker of Tame Impala on a track together??! This track, from the soundtrack to the new Minions: The Rise of Gru movie, was definitely not on my 2022 Music bingo card but I’m super happy it exists. And a possible collab album between the two on the way also??! Bring it on!!!

[MP3] The Roots – It Ain’t Fair Feat. Bilal (From The “Detroit” Soundtrack)
Been hearing mixed things on the Detroit movie from a socio-political point of view, but the soundtrack is actually pretty decent: mostly 60’s/Motown (natch) soul and R&B and not just the well-worn, obvious selections à la The Big Chill.
The standout new track on the album though, “It Ain’t Fair” by The Roots and Bilal channelling Curtis Mayfield is an absolute scorcher of a protest soul anthem, perfect for these Black Lives Matter, Trump era times we live in. Seriously, you could write a thesis on this track.
It probably would’ve have happened anyway but hearing it for the first time in the wake of having just watched the current so-called President of the United States advocating, even in a joking manner as he’s now claiming, for more police brutality, had us feeling all the feels. We had to take a moment. Goosebumps (and even a few tears, it’s that powerful) for real. Just mind-blowing brilliance.
