Tall Black Guy serves up a treat for fans with the release of "Sade's Taboo" (Sweetest Taboo Blap-Up) - his expertly chopped rework of the widely celebrated Sade classic that fans have apparently been waiting to get their hands on. It is rare that producers touch Sade tracks to any degree of sonic success. Tall Black Guy brings his stellar ear for samples and some well-timed percussion to the table to pump out what may be one of the most impressive reinterpretations of Sade's iconic sound to date. Part of what makes this track so great is Tall Black Guy's ability to stand down at just the right places, opting instead to leave the heavy lifting to the most lush bits of the original arrangement. Sade's vocal forms the foundation for an airtight collage of bass and percussion that serves as an awesome reminder of how great TBG is at what he does and how great she will always be. Check the track below to listen to "Sade's Taboo" (Sweetest Taboo Blap-Up). Stay tuned for more.
