GIRL RAY – HOLD TIGHT (JOSHUA IDEHEN VERSION) Today marks the one year anniversary of Girl Ray’s fantastic third album, Prestige, and to celebrate the band have shared this major rework of “Hold Tight” by Joshua Idehen. He says, “I’m just a massive fan of Girl Ray over here (probably account for half their plays in Sweden, easy) so getting a chance to reinterpret one of their songs was too exciting to pass. And as my first remix, I’m pretty chuffed. Ludvig (the producer and bandmate) knew from the moment we heard the original we were going to make a ’90s era rave-y number like you’d find on pop singles back with… but with a poem.”

We’ve been anticipating A$AP Rocky‘s first album in six years, Don’t Be Dumb, which arrives later this month. He’s shared his first track since formally announcing it, “Highjack,” which features Jessica Pratt. Those are two names we didn’t necessarily expect to see paired together, but it’s much less surprising given Jessica Pratt’s increased fame in recent years due to Troye Sivan sampling her song “Back, Baby” on his song “Can’t Go Back, Baby,” and Rocky recently told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, “I just love alternative. I love just different sounds and whatnot. [Pratt] kind of gave me this kind of Portishead meets Stevie Nicks vibe a little bit. Right. So I always fucked with her as a artist, and so I figured it was necessary to get her, Jon Batiste on this one and kind of make it feel soulful to bring it on home in the outro.”

When it comes to funky, futuristic fashion, George Clinton — the music legend who brought “One Nation Under a Groove” — says that you have to think out of your comfort zone to be out of this world. 

“We always was trying to make sure we was down with whatever was happening,” Clinton, 82, told The Post about his seven decades of culture-shifting garbing and grooving. “And the only way to do that is to pick up on the stuff that sounds the most ridiculous to you, that looks the most ridiculous to you.
