Mr. J. Medeiros - Pale Blue Dot
Artist: Mr. J. Medeiros
Producer: Stro Elliot
Album: Pale Blue Dot EP
Label: De Medeiros
Update: Click “Listen Now” above to watch Medeiros’ “Pale Blue Dot” video.
A photograph taken from the Voyager 1 spacecraft back in 1990 shows the vast, empty reaches of space, with the Earth as nothing but a Pale Blue Dot in the distance (See the speck a little more than halfway down the brown line? Yeah, that’s not dust on your screen). Making its world premiere right here in The DJBooth, the title track off Mr. J. Medeiros’ forthcoming EP finds the L.A. underground mainstay taking inspiration from the iconic image (by way of Carl Sagan’s famous, series-ending speech on Cosmos) as he offers listeners an astronaut’s-eye view of human affairs. Stro Elliot showcases his creativity on the production tip, crafting a beat that ping-pongs between pensive, synth-drenched verses and and a light, piano-led chorus featuring the refreshing guest vocals of Giannina Ashe. For his part, Medeiros keeps it thought-provoking as usual, echoing Sagan’s protests against intolerance and bloodshed as he comments elliptically on current events. If this reflective jam had you nodding along (whether to the beat, the message or both), you can find more fresh, lyrically-acute material on the artist’s Pale Blue Dot EP, scheduled for release this April.

Mr. J. Medeiros is all about quality tunes, so it was no surprise that I fully enjoyed his newest premiered joint in the Booth. This might be a little heavy for some, but I think plenty of listeners will respect this effort. As a side, I love the guest vocals from Giannina Ashe, whose arrow is pointed UP.

This was an OK listen the first time through, but it's not really the type of track I'd be playing over and over. It was creative and the collaboration was different.

Don't wanna spam, but there's also a brand new 7" vinyl record available for this song, for those of you who want Mr. J's wisdom on wax! http://thefindmag.bandcamp.com/album/pale-blue-dot-limited-edition-blue-vinyl Including a remix by 20syl (of Hocus Pocus). Figured to share for the vinyl heads on here

Mr.J.Medeiros would be one of my favourite artists right now after the classic 'Saudade' album. That was in my top 5 albums for '11. This is so good.
