Escort - Love in Indigo (Extended)
“Escort was formed in early 2005 by Dan Balis, Eugene Cho, and Darius Maghen out of a desire to bring detail, depth, and perhaps most of all, the R&B songwriting tradition, back to underground dance music.”
Some may call this disco and attempt to give it that stain of the idiotic and in some ways racist and homophobic “disco sucks” movement. During the infamous disco demolition night in chicago people saw many black albums burned that had nothing to do with disco such as Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.” Disco music began simply as danceable r&b music, where certain trends and formulas began sticking more and more causing many of the songs later on to get stale. This music had a higher tempo that dj’s would play inside of many new clubs. For the shear love of dance and the undisputable greatness of the original music it took over the world. For the most part disco is still responsible for the majority of club music that is played around the world from the million different forms of house and techno, and all of there children. I guess it is ironic that Chicago, the location of disco demolition night, was at the foundation of the House music movement.
Escort is a 16-piece band from Brooklyn that plays some good ass music. Each single that they dropped has been off the hook. I’m sorry but you have no soul if you cannot feel the driving intro at the beginning of the song. Love in Indigo is not what it seems at first, it is actually not about love for another person, but a woman’s search for a pair of shoes that she has fallen in love with. As a retired sneakerhead I can feel her pain. I once had a nightmare about a pair of sneakers that I didn’t buy in the store one day. After that I immediately went to the store to buy the sneakers, but they weren’t there, causing me to have to spend a week searching all over the internet to find them. Ironically I got them from a sneaker store in Brooklyn and my life was complete… until I saw the next pair of hot ass sneakers.
So… it looks like I talked about everything, but the song. Oh well enjoy.
