Song of the Day: Sharam featuring Kid Cudi - "She Came Along"

Since R&B and hip hop artists are incorporating elements of electronic dance music, it only makes sense that dance producers look to other genres for inspiration. With the tradition of storytelling, country music seems right for the plundering. First up is Deep Dish's Sharam who builds on a sample of a Patsy Cline's classic "Strange" with buzzy rapper Kid Cudi ("Day and Night") to create this country/electroHop/popDance fusion. It is often the most unique sounding records that get the attention (remember when KLF and Tammy Wynette teamed up for "Justified and Ancient"), so it will be interesting to see if fans of Kid Cudi, Patsy Cline and Sharam will embrace this track about a threesome fantasy. They should, since it is quite good.
