MUSIC: Funky DL vs. Amy Winehouse 'I Can't Help You'
Submitted by Fusion on 9.46pm, Sun 10th Jan 2010
Funky DL’s early influences were producers like Pete Rock, which is
highly apparent on this one in which he sends a message out to all those
who are always prepared to lean on others for help, never having ever
done anything themselves to help themselves. The shortest and last track
on ‘Back To Frank’ offers the opportunity for self-reflection if
adhered carefully.

MUSIC: Funky DL vs. Amy Winehouse 'But That's Not Me'
Submitted by Fusion on 9.52pm, Sun 10th Jan 2010
DL came with some niceties on this one with a story of his fears and insecurities of a suspected cheating wife to whom he is unsure whether to confront or quietly slip away from, only leaving a note or letter. DL explains “This was a difficult one because Amy hardly said anything from the original ‘Take The Box’ song that I could really write around” The story unfolds and is vividly descriptive only to come back round full circle to display that the 1st verse could have easily been 2nd and the 2nd, 1st…

MUSIC: Funky DL vs. Amy Winehouse 'Made For You'
Submitted by Fusion on 10.00pm, Sun 10th Jan 2010
DL stays true
to his producer roots with this ode to “studio equipment”. With a hook
from Amy stating “everyday I see you my hands were made for you” it
becomes clearer to understand where DL’s heart lies. As an avid Akai MPC user, Funky DL has taught himself the machine
inside and out, even having to open the sampler to replace a burnt out
memory chip whilst recording the project. A music lover’s favourite
appears in the form of Grover Washington JR’s ‘Mr Magic’, which Amy
covered on her debut album as an unlisted bonus track.

MUSIC: Funky DL vs. Amy Winehouse 'Kicked Me To The Curb'
Submitted by Fusion on 10.34pm, Sun 10th Jan 2010
This is the song that started the whole project and as Amy’s 'You Sent
Me Flying' is DL’s favourite track of hers, he made 'Kicked To The Curb'
his starting block for the album. DL remarks of his regret as to the
reasons why a relationship had to come to an end without actually saying
what the girl did that led him to kick her to the curb and does this
smoothly over a beat reminiscent of some old Dilla / Slum Village vibe…

Submitted by Fusion on 7.11pm, Tue 2nd Mar 2010
The orignial version got the R&B massive open last year and featured Josef Green and Leon Jean-Marie sharing vocal duties. Never one to rest on his laurels, rising star Josef Green is back with a bigger and badder refix.
'Fade To Black'gets the 2010 treatment, courtesy of super producer Dexplicit (of 'POW!' fame) and lyrical titan Black The Ripper. We think it's a banger. Let us know how you rate this one. Get voting now.
