Money Mark – ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ (Island) Released 23/04/07

Money Mark – a man best known for his work with the Beastie Boys, collaborates with Jack Johnson on this single. Similarities between this track and most of Johnson’s output are presented in the track’s inoffensive, laid-back style and softly sung vocals. There’s also something of a Stevie Wonder influence sneaking in on the keyboard parts and vocal melodies. It makes for nice background music but is generally a pretty unremarkable way to spend three minutes of your time.
