When you think of a typical rap group, usually the last image that comes to mind is one male emcee and two female singers, but Brooklyn bred Talib Kweli is not your ordinary rapper, and Idle Warship is not your typical group. Comprised of Kweli, Philadelphia singer (and frequent Kweli collaborator) Res and Canadian singer Graph Nobel, Idle Warship has a unique sound and flow, to say the least. On their new single, Bedroom Lites, the group takes turns rapping about a steamy night over a retro sounding beat produced by Co-T, who creates a real ‘80s vibe by combining vocals and heavy percussion to create a truly distinctive sound. The group has great chemistry, as evidenced by how easily Kweli flows in and out between the two singers - whose smooth, occasionally robotic vocals are the icing on the cake - although I have to admit the track did leave me wanting more from Kweli, whose verses seemed short. Bedroom Lites is off the Party Robot mixtape, which dropped late last month.

Great for the clubs, sounds amazing under my BEATS and reminds me of my birth generation (80's). However, I agree with Nathan that Talib's solo middle verse could have been longer and more powerful.

First off, my apologies to Matt Juss, who wrote this intro, not me. An editorial mistake incorrectly initially credited me, it's been fixed now.
Second, I felt like I was in 1989 while listening to this, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm not loving this, but big props to Idle Warship for making some truly creative music. |

It's a retro-pop treat, done earnestly, which makes it all the more incredible. A knocking bassline, with billowing synth leads, erupting with giddiness and sex appeal, mixed with humdinger of a chorus = an infectious cocktail.
One of my favorite tracks from the mixtape. Throw this mixtape on at any random party, people shouldn't have any problem getting down. |

ALL I'M WAITIN FOR IS PRINCE TO SURFACE WITH A REMIX TO THIS. HE DEF COULD REPLACE MY DUDE ON HERE AND SAVE THE TRACK LOL. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED THE NAME STUCK ME AS SUCH. NOT REALLY MY STYLE. IS THAT TALIB ON BOTH MALE VERSES? I DON'T THINK SO, BUT TALIB ON THE SECOND MALE VERSE SAVED THIS TRACK FOR ME. LETS RACE TO THE ATTIC AND BREAK OUT THE SPANDEX, LEG WARMERS, SWEAT BANDS AND THE ALL WHITE REEBOK'S. -REALTALKTRUSTRY
