El Michels Affair and Black Thought drop “That Girl” from their upcoming Glorious Game album. The Roots frontman and Leon Michels’ band unify to pay tribute to the emcee’s muse. The falsetto-led doo-wop sample collapses and a numbing beat comes in as the bedrock for Black Thought’s ode to his greatest love. The lyrics mention a caramel-colored woman as his loving inspiration but the description of her captivating the whole world also sounds like hip-hop is his lover. “That Girl” is the second single from their Glorious Game project which comes out in the spring. Black Thought’s Cheat Codes album with Danger Mouse from last year is still streaming heavily.
