When legendary producer/songwriter Todd Rundgren went looking for special guests to collaborate with on his newest album White Knight (released 5/12/17 by Cleopatra Records) one of the more surprising yet enormously successful choices was electro R&B superstar DAM-FunK. The two collaborated on the stellar track "I Got Your Back," fusing Rundgren's jazz art rock with DAM's ultra smooth e-piano grooves. Now, DAM returns to the track and offers up a new vision of their collaboration, a "Re-Freak" that adds more bottom heavy synths and new vocals sung by DAM. The result is a delight for fans of both Todd and D?M and is currently available on all digital platforms courtesy of Cleopatra Records.
About their collaboration, D?M had this to say, "Working with one of my heroes in music was a genuine pleasure. His progressive mind when it comes to all things music, without losing his soul in it, is such an inspiration to me and in what I humbly try to contribute to music listeners and aspire to. As the song says, 'I got your back, Todd.'"
As a bonus, the digital single will come with a special "b-side" - the first downloadable release of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's remix of their Rundgren collab "Deaf Ears!"
Fresh off his latest run with Ringo Starr which ends tomorrow, November 16, Todd continues his "White Knight" headline tour beginning November 17 and ending New Year's Eve at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. For more info on the tour, visit: http://www.todd-rundgren.com/tr-tour.html
