It’s been a long time coming – it surfaced very early 2010 – but the past few months there hasn’t been a single music interested person I’ve met who hasn’t been totally gaga for neo-soul sensation Aloe Blacc and his lovely lead theme to HBO hit How To Make It In America, ”I need a dollar”. And rightfully so. He evokes the likes of Bobby Womack and Bill Withers with his blend of soul, jazz, r’n'b and whatnot, and deserves all the attention and acclaim he can get. Most recently for his spanking new album, “Good things”.

Here’s “I need a dollar” in what most be the most unexpected blend this year. German fave and upcoming star Marco Niemerski, more known as Tensnake, has given it the onceover and turned it into a loungy progressive chill out trip. The jury’s still out, but I really like both Blacc and Tensnake, so I suppose I like this as well. Even if I’d chose the original any day.
