The Cataracs - 77 88
Artist: The Cataracs
Producer: The Cataracs
Album: Untitled Album
Label: Indie-Pop/Universal Republic
Many twenty-something males would be hesitant to pursue a romance with a women a decade their senior, but The Cataracs’ out-the-box-thinking clearly isn’t limited to the musical arena. Firm believers in Aaliyah’s dictum that “age ain’t nothing but a number, ,” Cyrano and Campa illuminate the special appeal of romance with an older chick on new single 77 88 (named after the lovers’ respective birth years). Over a leisurely, synth-soaked bubblegum-pop backdrop, the duo spit sung and rapped game to the woman in question, plying her with images of young love (“Let me bring you back to prom at your daddy’s house.”) and promises of technical assistance (“I know you’re mature, but I’m considerate, consider it / Computers are confusing and I’m very tech-literate.”). While I can’t help but think they’re underestimating the average 33-year-old’s digital savvy—and I’m not even touching the Bingo jokes—I’m going to have to defer to the Cataracs’ expertise on cross-generational macking. If you like what you’re hearing, keep it locked for release details on the duo’s yet-untitled fifth album, scheduled to drop sometime in 2012.

Ear candy, pop pleasing goodness. Radio, if they hear this - and they should - will be found of "77 88."

Gotta give them credit for not following everybody else and dropping a electro song.

Awesome album art. The track is pretty good, I give it an extra star for the turntablism incorporated into the beat.

I like the feel of the track and it's pretty differant to want I'm used to from Cataracs. But I'm not a big fan of the vocals. Maybe they should've gotten a guest vocal that sounds more natural behind the mic but I dunno...
