Alexander Lewis & Brasstracks: All of the Lights
I'm not normally one for instrumentals, but Alexander Lewis and Brasstracks's collective rendition of Kanye West's 2010 hit "All of the Lights" is too good, and deserves all the lights. As in, spot lights, their names in lights, and chilled Corona Light's -- can I get a cheers? Royal entrance fanfare, anyone? Not long after pushing play you'll be looking around waiting for a red carpet to roll out and the Queen herself to roll in.
“I felt like All of the Lights was perfect for a brass cover. One day, I had a couple hours to spare so I recorded that main motif idea and did some production/structure to begin the tune, sent it to Ivan [of Brasstracks] and asked him if he was down. He literally sent me the trumpets the next day.”
