Track Review: Blood Diamonds feat. Grimes – “Phone Sex”

Canada’s Blood Diamonds (aka Mike Tucker) teamed up with Grimes (aka Claire Boucher) to create a clubbed out pop tune that prominently features Boucher’s delicate, high-pitched vocals. The artwork for the cover of the 12″ single, pictured left, is as extravagant as the come, featuring asian characters and brightly colored splashes of pink, blue and red collaged around figured from Greek art. “Phone Sex” itself is a melody-driven song with snare-centric loops. Over the beat, Boucher repetitively pleads, “Please Daddy take me home.” Hear the track via YouTube below.
