White Rabbits Start Road-Testing Beyonce-Inspired Album
Quote:
For their third album, the Brooklyn indie rockers took their inspiration from an unlikely source — Beyoncé. "I love how she takes on different attitudes in her vocals," Patterson says, pointing to the singer's shifts from party-ready to dark and contemplative on her latest disc, 4. "Plus, her production is wild."
For the Rabbits as-yet-untitled LP, due in early 2012, Patterson didn't conjure up an alter ego, ŕ la Sasha Fierce (but if he did, it'd be Stee Stee, his bandmates' nickname for him). He did, however, exercise some Beyoncé-style groove. "Our last record had a lot of raw energy and spontaneity and heavy tom-tom beats, but our new tracks have more of an R&B feel, rhythmically and vocally," he says. "It gets boring always trying to take from rock'n'roll bands."
Just got into these bonus tracks, Dance For You + Lay Up Under Me + Dreaming are great and I already praised Schoolin' Life from day 1. There is only one song I don't like on the entire set and it's Rather Die Young. This is her best album as a whole (individually her other albums have better tracks though). Definitely should have seen a nomination under Best R&B album.
