When I read the title of Cherub‘s latest feature, I expected the kind of slinky, sensual R&B jam that would sound right at home accompanying a pole-dance routine. While you can indeed Strip to This, it seems less suited for an evening out at the local gentleman’s club than for a balmy day on the beach—which happens to be the setting of MIXED MEDIA‘s official visuals. The Columbia Records signees do double duty on the mic and behind the boards, crafting a languid, guitar-led beat to accompany verses sung to the tune of bossa nova classic The Girl From Ipanema. Booth regular ForteBowie contributes some lightly-Autotuned vocals to verse two. For more, cop the collaborators’ Year of the Caprese LP, available in stores and online as of April.
