Sa-Ra - B*tch Baby
Artist: Sa-Ra
Producer: Sa-Ra Creative Partners
Album: Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love
Label: Ubiquity Records
Jazz aficionados in the Booth are likely familiar with Sun Ra, a legendary piano/keyboard player famous both for his musical talent and his eccentric personal mythology (he claimed in all seriousness that he was from Saturn, for starters). Sa-Ra, the Los Angeles-based trio who brought us Feel the Bass back in August of ‘08, took their collective name from the jazz innovator, and this newly-leaked cut comes liberally seasoned with a similar brand of out-of-this-world weirdness. On B*tch Baby, Taz Arnold, Shafiq Husayn and Om’Mas Keith forgo their Booth debut’s glossy, synth-heavy sound in favor of a more organic feel, blending bossa nova guitar, jazz organ, and a whole high school band’s worth of ramshackle percussion into a densely-layered midtempo stew of a beat—then, they fill in the cracks with backing vocals, stacking “oohs” and “da-da-das” as far as the eye can see. The husky-voiced verses are a little hard to decipher at times, but listeners willing to sit back and soak in the unconventional groove are sure to find this cut a rewarding listen. For more of Sa-Ra’s left-of-center sounds, grab a copy of Nuclear Evolution: The Age of Love when it hits stores June 23rd.

Eerie and sexy at the same time, which I can't say I've ever heard. I have mixed feelings on this one in general, but upon first listen I am into this unique cut. And I've always been one to trust first instinct, sooooo....

Vocals on the song are too fickle to constantly hold my attention, but do provide for the mellow atmosphere when lounging in my quarter ....
Eager to see what the next Sa-Ra Cruise has in store for me while dis one goes for Rotation ... |

Sa-Ra have already produced for some big name artists so you know the production will be on point. The lyrics are pretty good and I like the creative feel of the song. Rotation

I'm liking the production work on this song. The verses need a little something i can't quite put my finger on but overall its ok. oh and dj xcon, sun ra claimed to be from saturn, not these guys.

The vibe of this track is worth a Banger rating by itself. The funky/jazzy production mixed wit those ooohs and aaaahs is... kinda unclassifiable. That guys super low vocals just add to the "aura" as my man that1kid13 put it. Very nice, and a very different sound for me.

Haven't heard about these doods for a while. I bought a 12inch from them in 04, Glorious and Rosebuds. If your feeling this I def recommend those two joints. I thought they would have blown up by now.
