Song of the Day: Jhameel – THC (The Human Condition)

Whenever I log onto Facebook and find my newsfeed littered with updates from my friends’ Spotify accounts, I feel like the sole surviving user of Pandora. But every once in a while I’m reminded why I stay adamantly behind the times and continue to use it. (Actually, according to The Washington Post’s In/Out list for 2012, I’m doubly behind the times because Spotify is now out and Bluebrain is in. I’m totally confused as to what Bluebrain is and am pretty sure that even if I did understand, my poor little dumphone wouldn’t know what to do with it.)

Today my Pandora account decided to remind me of why I love it by introducing me to THC (The Human Condition) (from the album of the same name) by Jhameel. This song caught my attention because it was something besides David Byrne or David Bowie – my Pandora has an uncompromising crush on these two artists – and because it had a super catchy refrain of “puff puff pass puff puff pass” which I was mindlessly singing even before I realized Pandora had decided to move on from the Davids. I loved the strong beat and the stream-of-consciousness feel of the lyrics so I looked into Jhameel a little further. The only thing I can say is the more I look into him the more intriguing he becomes: he’s unwikipediable, always a shocker, and his website says that he is a pentalingual young pop star who takes inspiration from Prince and Michael Jackson. Done, done, and done, sir.

All I can say is that I like what I see and hopefully more will emerge soon.
