Hehe, no Dracula is helping Sun God Ra, although that would be an interesting idea for Blade IV!
This is about Vampire Weekend’s keyboardist and producer Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot’s singer, Wes Miles.

It is a very nice album since when artists do collaborations, they tend to bring their style and try to mash it up. In this case, they don’t. They do bring their knowledge and talent but they created something completely new, that has no resemblance with their own bands. That is refreshing.
The album is a tribute to the good old R&B that they filter through some 80’s dance music, some 00’s hip hop and some dancehall music!. The mix is just fantastic, filled with lots of cliches beats but as perfect as they can be for that moment.
