Long story short…
“It just started with me and Zo doing covers for fun, but then we kept recording and decided to release it,” Phonte tells DX in an exclusive interview. “It’s our way of paying homage to the stuff we grew up listening to.”
“We had fun recording the record, but its not a ‘joke’ album at all,” says Phonte. “We were very serious with everything, from the vocal side, to the production side, to the final mixing and mastering…it was a real painstaking process to recreate it all. [The album includes covers of ] ‘Take On Me’ by A-Ha, ‘Africa’ by Toto, and a new revamped version of ‘Steppin’ Out’ by Joe Jackson…and that’s all I’mma say…we will be leaking the next joint in a week or so though, probably on a future episode of my podcast, Gordon Gartrell Radio www.gordongartrellradio.com”
The Zo! and Tigallo Love the 80’s EP will be available in early July as a limited edition CD. Only 2,500 copies will be pressed, all individually numbered.“No iTunes, Amazon, or other any digital spots will have it; once we sell out, its gone forever,” Phonte warns.
I am definitely looking foward to this project. I loved what they did with Ah-Ha’s “Take On Me” and been bumping it for the past year or so. Should be good.
