Luther Vandross' poppy sexy grandson - "Gust of Wind" Pharrell

"Gust of Wind" Pharrell

I gave the new Pharrell album the proper listen it deserved, didn't fall in love, but there are certainly gems. I thought my jam was "Brand New" featuring Justin Timberlake, but upon a secondary listen I realized I was under the JT spell (got me again), and my favorite track is "Gust of Wind." The twangy guitar and playful bass is truly reminiscent of an 80s Luther Vandross song (think "Never Too Much"), and the strings make the song exciting and frantic and fun. It makes me feel happy and in love, even though the winter has made me hate all living things and inanimate objects, and that is a serious feat.

How you'll move: Like Justin Timberlake when he's putting a spell on you.

When to play it: When spring comes to the city and you can stroll the streets in the sun without a coat and with a smile.
