The first person to have claimed both spots on a single day is Patrick Page II, bassist for the group, The Internet, which reminds me of a hip-hop/R&Bish version of Zero 7 and definitely a group Lynn from Girlfriends would have tried to grift her way into. And when your bassist can release fire songs like this, you just may be a supergroup.
Patrick Paige II – Voodoo (2018)
If you haven’t been able to tell, I love callbacks. Allusions. Something that evokes the feelings of something else. Whenever I see the word “voodoo,” I automatically think of D’Angelo, which then leads to a feeling of a specific vibe. I don’t know if Patrick made the song and then realized it reminded him of D’Angelo and called it “Voodoo” or if he specifically set out to make a joint that could have been made during those iconic sessions. For my money, this leans more towards the, in my opinion, superior sound of D’Angelo’s debut Brown Sugar and Paige’s falsetto on the hook floats.
