It’s the holidays during a time of economic downturn, a time when so much modern music is looking back to the recession-era vibe of slick early ’90s dance-pop. (You know, back when a hair metal drummer could man the sub-Sheila E skins for a Jheri-curled R&B duo in white tube socks.) And since we’re all strapped right now, let’s forget the love, peace, and happiness for a moment with the paper-chasing gentlemen of Calloway.
