The Daily Deep Cut

The editors at JamsBio like to think of ourselves as music fans first, not critics, and that’s the sensibility we strive for at JamsBio and that we seek in other sites as well. That’s why we’re so jazzed about Damn Fine Day, a site that each day profiles a deep album cut that’s been overlooked, but deserves a place in everybody’s collection. In the name of spreading the gospel about great music, we present “The Daily Deep Cut,” where we add our two cents about the songs featured on Damn Fine Day. Once you read our unique take, we’ll send you over to Damn Fine Day so you can stream the full track and download it if you like. Sometimes we might even suggest another deep track from the same album or present some other novel twist on what their hawking.

This is a B-side you can really sink your teeth into. With its insane bass lines and keyboards that pop out of the speakers, “Hello” is anything but subtle, a dancefloor burner featuring killer vocal contributions from Jill Jones and dripping with enough 80’s pop-funk sheen to straighten your jhery curls. Add to this the indignant lyrics, written as a response to those who criticized Prince’s lack of participation in the We Are the World event, and you have an unheralded gem that rivals it’s A-side brother, “Pop Life.”

So lace up your Capezios, cue up “Hello” on Damn Fine Day and hit the dancefloor!
