While in Australia, GoldLink and Melbourne-based band Billy Davis and The Good Lords performed an arrangement (by Questlove and the Yessirs) of Pharrell’s “Frontin’.” The impressive rendition, complete with sophisticated jazz elements and elegant flute ad-libs, was recorded for Australian radio station Triple J’s weekly ‘Like a Version’ segment where, “a musician or band comes into the studio to play one of their own songs and a cover of a song they love.”
Watch the DC native and his self-proclaimed “musical juggernaut” friends offer up their completely (and flawlessly) reworked “Frontin'” below.
