It has been almost 4 weeks since local group 'Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground' released their last cover from their Experimeduction Volume 1 covers album. Yesterday they released their cover of Evelyn "Champagne" King's "I'm In Love."

The original, which King released in 1981, is your typical 80's funk jam with the 80's synth groove that seemed to drive all funk/R&B of the 80s. Add in the on beat clapping, the hollow sounding kick drum sound, and Champagne's Aretha Franklinesque voice and you have the quintessential jam of  the early 80s pop scene.

Kay Kay and his crew update the synth sounds and actually play the drum beat so it sounds like a kick drum. They add some horns into the mix at the exact right moments and the vocals are reminiscent of an 80s male pop singer. Add some jazz inspired strings and the transformation is complete.

The Weathered Underground once again succeed in bringing a 30 year old song into the 21st century. All the while keeping true enough to form that those that rocked the original on 8 track will be satisfied.
