WXPN’s Gotta Hear Song of the Week is “Vaporize” by Amos Lee. The song was one of several new songs that he played at WXPN’s Non-Comm in May.
About the new song, Amos said in a press release:
“I wrote the verse and chorus of “Vaporize” one day. Then put it on the shelf for a while until I heard “Studio” by ScHoolboy Q, which made me want to find a way to do something with that flavor in a room with a drummer and bass player. Add to it live strings moods, and an incredible rhythm section, and you get the core of “Vaporize.”
“Vaporize” is a burning, sexy jam of a song that perfectly captures Lee’s soulful side. Listen to it below.
