Tonight by Sam[antha] Ronson & Jimmy Messer

There are many things I liked about Samantha Ronson without actually knowing much about her. I like her style, I liked the fact that she's an open lesbian, I like the fact that she's Mark Ronson's sister, I like the fact that her twin sister is a designer for JC Penney (and I quite like JC Penney), I like the fact that she's a very popular female DJ... But I guess that was all that I knew until I came about Rhymefest and Sam Ronson's Wanted (Half Nelson OST). Then, I learned that she is also a singer. I had a browse around and came to this song that I really! like.

Wanted by Rhymefest and Sam Ronson (GREAT SONG for a GREAT MOVIE, by the way!!):

Here's the deal: The lyrics are the most conventionally over-used lines in the mainstream music industry and the rhythm/melody and all aren't remotely distinct or great. I can't even say that her frank, "Tonight I'm fuckin' you," is surprisingly fresh, because, well, it isn't. What I do like about this song is simply Sam Ronson's vulnerability. Her voice is coarse yet fragile. And it's acoustic, so that's my scene right now.

Take a listen and tell me what you think:
