Tim Fitz – Mr Streetwise
This is as good a chance as any to put my foot down about that son of a gun Tim Fitz. The dude won’t let me get my bearings before he takes off once more, chopping and changing between styles, navigating the waters between genre and genre with the sincere confidence of an old naval dog. The most recent single he’s provided is Mr Streetwise and it features the most straight down the line pop hook he’s yet written. Admittedly, I heard this track whilst it was still in its formative stages and my feedback was less than helpful. Now as a grown beast though, Mr Streetwise has thrown off his swaddling cloths and covered his fully-formed manhood with the pantaloons of post-production. And for all that, it sounds a million dollars.
This is as good a segway as any to make mention of a mixtape on which this track features. Sure, you could cop a download
of Mr Streetwise straight from the source (along with the other tracks that make up Fitz’s 3rd EP) or you could head over to the newly formed bandcamp of FBi Radio’s The Bridge. The Bridge is FBi’s Sydney-only music segment and they’ve just now put out their first mixtape, full licenced and completely free. You’ll find a couple of tracks on there you may already have heard via SD (such as Fawn Myers’ You Know Me So Well and the recent Mammals/Flash Forest collab) as well as a fair few that will hopefully be brand new for you. Get on it. Also, how good is this Day Ravies track?
