Jamil Zacharia – Holla Girl

The first installment of what I’m going to dub ‘Key Sung Wednesday’ is a reimagining of Key Sung’s ‘Holograms‘. To suggest that the song has been stretched out to this new six minute affair would be a misrepresentation of the Zacharia process. It’s an entirely new orchestration that effectively only takes lightly from the vocal stem of the original track and while it’s been stripped of the latent sexuality of Oscar’s jam, in that loss is a different gain. The new take is an ambrosial feast splayed out wide and thin. This is only Jamil’s second recorded single, the first exclusively available via the third Wondercore Island Mixtape. I definitely needed this today, if only to cleanse the memory of the Griswold’s record that came in the mail yesterday. You’ll find Jamil involved with some of the sideprojects of the various Hiatus Kaiyote members as well as recording with the don juan himself, Kirkis. Here’s to what comes next.
