Former Fine Young Cannibals bass player, David Steele produces Fried (aka New Orleans native, Jonte Short).
“You’re with the Wrong One Baby” is a smooth soul track with R &B Vocals. The music reminds me of Gnarls Barkley.

Here’s the latest from Gnarls Barkley off their upcoming release titled, “The Odd Couple”, which is going to be released April 2008. Has a nice old school motown feel to it with very energetic vocals, and hand claps… I love me some hand claps!

Lovin’ the bass hook on this track.  ESG (Emerald Sapphire & Gold) was an all girl group from South Bronx, New York circa 1978 to 1990’s.  They mix Soul, Funk, Disco, and New Wave all into their own dance vibe, which would probably be labeled “Deep House” now-a-days.  This track was originally released in 1982 on ESG’s EP titled, “ESG Says Dance To The Beat of Moody”.
