Finding the Rhythm

I’m bombarded with new music almost daily, and while that’s a good thing, I find it’s taking more and more for a track to really grab me right off the bat these days. One track that has done just that is a new one from French producer Frederic Faupin, under the alias “Jack in Da Box” (credited by some as “Jackindabox,” all one word).

The song is titled Feeling Naughty, and it’s got a great, grungy, gritty production that has at the same time got a sort of classic house feel to it, while sounding quite electro overall. I think it might be the soulful vocal (uncredited female) that sort of tilts this one off balance and makes it difficult to pigeonhole. She sounds like something out of a 1970s B-movie, perhaps, but somehow everything just sort of works together nicely.

As of this writing, you can hear the song in the music player located on the Jack in Da Box MySpace page. See what you think, but this is one I’m having trouble getting out of my head at the moment.
