Today's Interlude: Bare Bones Commander

Here's another tune I came across recently. I credit Kelly Rowland for reviving electro-dance music in the States, and especially with introducing David Guetta to the American public. I may be blowing her role out of proportion but I definitely feel like she has played a major part in the current explosion of electronic pop. 

Commander was one of those songs I turned my nose up at the first time I heard it but then somehow ended up stepping to while walking down the street on my way to work. In this live performance, Kelly's taken the "charge" out of the music leaving behind a pure, organic sound. Stripping down the track to just an acoustic guitar and vocals is a refreshing take on this particular club banger, especially since it allows you to really appreciate Kelly's prowess as a singer as well as the melody itself.
