Audio: Jesse Boykins III x MeLo-X, "The Perfect Blues" + "Naked For Life" [Remixes]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

As the collaborative album, Zulu Guru, from futuristic soul singer Jesse Boykins III, and emcee/producer, MeLo-X, approaches its October 30 release date, we continue to come across remixes that build our hype and anticipation for what we expect to be a minor masterpiece. Below, you'll find a dulcet remix of British singer, songwriter, and producer Fink's unreleased beauty, "Naked For Life." MeLo-X and JB3 keep close to the original but change lyrics, play with the song's vocal layering and add a verse by MeLo. True to the sonic expectations of the two artists, the song becomes an intergalactic work of art once the tempo picks up speed and the synths creep in. In addition to "Naked For Life," you'll be a fan of an impressive remix of "The Perfect Blues" by Machinedrum, who has worked with Jesse Boykins III before, on Love Apparatus, the singer's still unreleased album. Get into it after the jump.
