Veteran MC Del the Funky Homosapien has been working on his long-awaited second album with Deltron 3030, but in the meantime, he has teamed with underground group Parallel Thought for Attractive Sin. On "Bring It," Del defty wraps his flow over a fuzzy, groovy, meandering beat. Though "Bring It" doesn't appear on Sin, the track is a funky, hazed-out preview of what's to come.

"The beat comes from an album we did for the Numero Group last year called Eccentric Breaks & Beats Vol. 2," says Knowledge of Parallel Thought. "It contains a sample from the ridiculously slept-on album Gone: The Promises of Yesterday by 24 Carat Black. Would have loved for this track to have made the album, but it was too late." Attractive Sin will be available June 19th, but you can hear this sneak peak now.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
