Jack Splash is back!!!

He never really left. The man behind plantlife, the unarguable genesis of the falsetto soul funk revival popularized by pharell, Snoop, Cee-lo and other pop stars is finally puttin' it down for his again. I for one couldn't be happier. Jack Splash has been the quiet superstar behind a ton of tracks in pop music over the last couple years. He's now back to doin his own thing with the "technology and love might save us all" full length coming this spring on J Records. He is notoriously bad at keeping up to date on the internet (I don't think plantlife ever had a myspace or a website lol). But this guys music is undeniably the future and unrepentantly iconoclastic. Equal parts funk and electronics, sweaty soul and cool computer. "King Of the Beats Vol. 1" is the first taste to get the world ready for the album. It drops this week and if you have any funk in your soul you'll pick it up.

Here is an excerpt:

Format: You’ve worked on ton of albums including Alicia Keys’ As I Am John Legend’s Once Again, Estelle’s Shine and we will be seeing your work in upcoming works with Missy Elliott and Cee-Lo. Where would you say you have left your strongest mark and why?
Jack Splash: That’s a tough question. I don’t really like to quantify my work that way. I honestly try to make the most incredible music with every artist I work with. That’s why I turn down a lot of work because I don’t want to just be working for the check. I’ve been making good money doing exactly what I love so I want to keep it that way. Almost every song I’ve produced for the artists I worked with have their very magical moments to me.

Me and Cee-Lo are like twins because we’re both bugged the fuck out and want to keep taking people higher. Alicia is just the ultimate singer songwriter and she’s so fun to work with. She’s real similar to me as far as us both being as much into hip-hop as we are other types of music. She was playing me some Janis Joplin songs before we wrote some of our songs. Same thing with Estelle, Solange, Raheem DeVaughn, John Legend and a lot of the other artists I’ve been working with. Every single one of them have magical moments that I wouldn’t trade for anything. The most important thing to me is that I have fun making the music, because at the end of the day that’s what it is really about.
