Little Dragon, Kelly Rowland and Big Boi – “Mrs. Vandebilt”
Words from the ATL rapper Big Boi “I really liked Paul McCartney’s last album, ‘New,’ so Ray Murray and I went hunting through Paul’s catalog for a record. We found ‘Mrs. Vandebilt’ by Wings. It’s a jewel..” So came about this gem which perfectly fuzes pop, r & b and hip-hop.

Major Lazer- “You’re No Good For Me” (feat. Santigold, Vybz Kartel, Danielle Haim & Yasmin)
