RZA has been speaking to London's Metro newspaper this week during the promotion of his new Bobby Digital Digi Snacks album, revealing some of his most-listened to tracks on his iPod. We certainly weren't expecting the Gibbster....
Clutch - Electric Worry
"My buddy turned me on to this band; they do hard blues rock, hardcore shit. Last year, their album was the most inspirational record for me. It shows great music can come from anywhere"
Donnie Hathaway – I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know
“I dedicate these words to my fiancée. We’re getting married on my birthday next year. It’s like, I’m acting out my life on stage but when we’re alone, I’m all yours and I love you more than you know.”
Marvin Gaye – What’s Happening Brother
“This has a great groove and, even though he wrote it in the 1970s, it’s something I can r elate to. If I was going back to my old neighbourhood, I would be asking how my friends have been, just the same as him.”
RZA as Bobby Digital – You Can’t Stop Me Now
“I do listen to my own stuff because it helps me to exercise and improve. This track reflects where my heart is right now and how I feel about opposition in my life.”
Barry Gibb – Woman In Love
“This was written by Robin and Barry Gibb for Barbara Streisand but the Gibbs’ version, on their album The Guilty Demos, is up on iTunes. As a songwriter, I love the simple blues progression but the location of the changes makes this song really powerful.”
Raze – Break 4 Love
“I must have been into this around 1989 – that was the year I was first able to sneak into clubs. I’ll never forget hearing this in Studio 54; it has these sex noises and the DJ would always slow it down just as you were getting close to the girl.”
