Loading ...After teaming up with Canadian producer Blunt and enticing fans with a handful of pre-album goodies, rising Fillmore District golden child DaVinci is proud to give listeners the first taste of his debut album, The Day The Turf Stood Still, with the album’s first leak, “Guys Wanna.” While not the album’s first official single, the track shows off DaVinci’s more playful side – a compliment to the social and political commentary and themes of gentrification that are often prevalent in DaVinci’s music. For “Guys Wanna,” DaVinci employs a handful of Goodfellas sound bites to reinforce the track’s underlying message. “The guys are going to go out and play sometimes,” DaVinci explains. “This song is a dedication to all the ladies who try to keep their man at home too much.”
Al Jieh of SWTBRDS Creative Collective produced the track, providing DaVinci with a vocal sample-laden beat giving clear direction for the concept and title for “Guys Wanna.” A jazzy, smooth background is hit with a strong drumbeat, just as the Italian-mob sampling is juxtaposed with DaVinci’s commanding lyrics and raspy vocals, “LA face with an Oakland booty / A New York attitude, a Chi’ Town cutie / Truly, I wouldn’t underestimate your beauty / But even on the first of April you couldn’t fool me.”
Make sure to check out DaVinci’s new album, The Day The Earth Stood Still, available both for sale and free download March 9, 2010.
