For the past five weeks I've been checking iTunes every Tuesday morning to see if they have "On a Cloud" by the Platinum Pied Pipers or PPP as they're known on iTunes. I heard the single on KCRW while driving home from work at 11:45pm (oh, the life of a PA!) and was entranced. It's addictive and fresh; the opening sounds like something stolen from Mark Ronson and you know that with me, that's a good thing. A very good thing.
I went home and had to re-listen to the whole KCRW broadcast just to wait for the part where a) it would be played again and b) they would eventually tell me who I just heard. Once I got the name, I went searching for the song. Sadly, all I could find was a 2-minute clip on their Myspace Page. I think I've listened to that clip about 30-40 times.
But this week, iTunes finally had it. The EP also includes the very worthy song "Angel" as well. If you like soul--or, arguably, if you have one--you will dig "On a Cloud." It's the song most likely to make you bounce in your office chair.
