Ta-ku heard from Trey, a fan who was dying of cancer. He wanted to collaborate with Ta-ku before his time was up. Sadly, Trey didn't live to see the track come together, so Ta-ku went ahead and made it anyway, dedicating it to him and making it a free download over here.
It's a nice track with drums, claps, chopped vocals and little twinkly bits. At the very end we get to hear Ta-ku's voice for the very first time and it's actually my favourite thing about the track - he's singing "lalalas" and laughing and it adds something fun and personal to the song.
My one gripe is that Ta-ku's record label, Soulection, is plastered all over this thing. It's named twice during the song yet Trey's name is never mentioned aloud. It's a little graceless to spread the story of how the track was made around so that people will get a free download and hear your company name. In fact to even download the song you have to "like" Soulection on Facebook. That's why I liked them, grabbed the link and went back to "unlike." Hm. I don't like to end a post on a sour note, but in this case, I guess I have to,
Soundtrack to: Trey.
