Having consolidated his place at the top table of #electroswing producers, ATOM SMITH here drops the penultimate single before his 2nd full album. 100% is a pure FUNK nugget. OUT NOW! You can listen here: idol-io.ffm.to/playingwithfire
With his trademark Hollywood big band brass section letting rip with solos over a killer groove, the track features a vocoder vocal by Atom himself preaching words of karmic LA wisdom. "If it ain't 100% real, then it's 100% fake." Indeed. A brilliantly solid crossover record, with political topicality, 100% worthy of support.

LYRICS:
Didn't pay for the sizzle
Then you won't get the steak
If it don't wiggle
Then it ain't gonna shake
If you got a minute
Then you got what it takes
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
Blind em with a smile
Bust em with a move
Get with the rhythm
Get with the groove
Don't matter what you boil
Don't matter what you bake
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
Put it on a saucer
Put it on a plate
Pour in a cup
But don't hesitate
Kill em with the kindness, yeah
Sweep em up with a rake
Ain't 100% real, then
It's 100% fake
If you're coming to the party
But you ain't gonna dance
Nobody gonna say
There go Danger-Pants
Nothing cooking in the kitchen
Nothing rising but the cake
Ain't 100% real
Then it's 100% fake
That's what you put in
That's what you get out
That's what you put in
That's what you get out
That's what you put in
That's what you get out
That's what you put in, baby
That's what you get out
