A 1969 powerful politically-conscious message against Nixon's Vietnam war, and more generally about social issues of the time (still very relevant now), "Compared To What" is a beautiful jazz/soul song written by Gene McDaniels for Roberta Flack legendary first LP "First Take". The song got subsequently covered/adapted by other Jazz artists. 

In this rework, I tried to keep the gospel-flavoured energy of Roberta's interpretation, while reinterpreting it with a housy rhythmic frame. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Music lover! Researcher on the creolization of culture and global cultural currents.  Music transcends borders so this has sparked my interest to listen to all this post-production endeavours of younger DJs and musicians. I undestand that it is extremely difficult nowdays to produce anything original be it in the arts, music, fashion and so on. Appropriation and referencing have become the order of the day in all cultural & creative industries. However, this blending of snippets of sounds i think represents the current mindset and by the way a lot of it maybe is not new but definately is refreshing ! We need more of from you guys!!! Keep this good creative work flowing!
