The-Dream - Body Work x F*ck My Brains Out
Artist: The-Dream
Producer: The-Dream
Album: L.IV: Diary of a Madman
Label: Radio Killa/Def Jam/IDJMG
You’ve gotta love a two-for-one—though The-Dream wasn’t able to drop the fourth installment in his Love series today (as was originally planned) due to label red tape, the pop heavyweight made up for it by dropping off a brand new double-single. As the “x” indicates, Body Work x F*ck My Brains Out is presented not as two separate records but rather a single 10-minute electro-pop epic. The opening number finds Terius Nash in his slower bedroom banger mode, requesting that his girl put her beautiful frame to work over a moody, seductive blending of sizzling synths and reverb-drenched percussion. Partie deux, on the other hand, is a full-bore electro-funk scorcher cut from the same (purple) cloth as Prince’s greatest hits; backed by funk guitar, driving percussion and yet more sizzling keyboards, Dream makes full use of his dazzling falsetto as he describes a tryst of head-exploding proportions. Together, this audaciously freaky twosome leave me wondering if L.IV: Diary of a Madman (coming this fall) might not be Dream’s best album yet. But enough outta me—your verdict, Booth readers?

This proves that Dream is the musical love child of R. Kelly and Prince. Enjoy the ride.

Yeah, epic is definitely the word in my book. I would consider giving both of these song classics individually so it's no surprise what my rating is combined.

I am slightly disturbed. But that's R. Kelly's influence on you.

Are you guys SERIOUS? These songs sound like they're unreleased tracks from his previous albums. I loved his first two albums, but c'mon The-Dream's music (nowadays) is so predictable. Same sound, same two notes...I wasn't impressed.

That first drop for a second sounded like a dubstep track and then came The Dream and he took it away from there. It's a pretty decent jam, I just can't say it's THAT amazing.

Prince inspired sound is great! Can't go too wrong with a grind song from Dream. This will get some requests.
