I had heard of Friendly Fires for a while, but hadn’t really peeped their music before I caught them in Seattle earlier tonight. This was one of my favorite tracks that they performed and I remembered seeing the video at my day job. Dopeness all around.
“One day…we’re gonna live…in Paris…I promise…”
Asher returns with another perfect college single, just in time for the back to school rush. They’ve actually been pushing this track for a minute and I’m a bit surprised it hasn’t caught on little more honestly. The beat is cool, the content is radio friendly (read: Becky from the suburbs likes to sing it in her new Jetta), the hook is catchy, Asher’s verses are cool, and the crowd at our Summer Jam responded well to it (interview still coming soon). Oh…and Keri Hilson is fiiiiiiiiiine (in real life too).
We’ll see if the visuals help turn the song into a hit…but in the meantime, this song will always remind me of one of Dane Cook’s few funny moments:

I don’t usually post single songs, nor electro/dance joints, but I’m making an exception for this. I already stated that I’m digging the original, and this mix takes it to a crazy new level. Club banger.
