Sometimes I Forget How Summer Looks On You.
Top track & lead single from Ben LaMar Gay’s first album of BRAND new music ever released (his debut was a sort of greatest hits of his older, previously-unreleased music), “Sometimes I Forget…” features BLG in peak BLG form. Arpeggiating synths make a hypnotic dance and a harmonic base for his melodic croons, as church organ chords flank the stereo field and background vocals from the mighty Chicago duo OHMME complete a summery symphony of bittersweet beauty. RIYL: early 70s Stevie Wonder (deep cuts), early 00s Outkast (the Andre cuts), or anything by Gilberto Gil.
