Told you she was good. Here's more Esthero, channeling a little bit of that Milla Jovovitch vibe out of The Fifth Element in this music video, filmed in Toronto. Plus, we get to see those classic Rocket streetcars.
Some might say this is slightly deviating from my intentions to feature only Canadian artists this week, but here I go anyway because this one is such hot fire...
Some of you might remember the other-worldly, ethereal Esthero, who hails from our beloved theatrical town of Stratford, Ontario. She brings her smooth vocals to the hook on this track from B.E.P.'s finest record, before they got all tangled up with that Fergie noise.
🎶 Jumping music, swift DJs
Smoke machines and laser rays
Look out weekend cause, here I come
Because weekends... 🎶
Remember this album? Well, if you don't, there was a time when, before Fergie and all that shit, the B.E.P. were a good hip-hop crew, touting positive lyrics and collaborating with some of the best producers, lyricists, and vocalists out there at the time -- Bridging The Gap alone featured guest appearances from Common, Les Nubians, Macy Gray, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 & Ozomatli, Esthero, Mos Def, and Wyclef Jean.
Throwing things back to the 2000s to start the week off right.
(For those of you who like finding those secret tracks, skip ahead to the 4:57 mark, or just wait through the silence in between.)
