I can't say I ever expected to find something like this, but alas, Karen's outtake from her solo album was sampled on a rapper's track from five years ago. WTF?! A good WTF, but a WTF nonetheless. I was watching a video made for her song and some comments mentioned that this song by rapper Conejo brought them here. I was curious who that was or what it could have been, but never thought about a modern, hip rap artist using the beat and vocals of her song to set the rhythm of his own work. And it's not even an obscure Carpenters track, hell, it didn't even make it onto her aborted (forgotten by many) solo album and yet somehow it came to this guys attention. I love the outtake and Karen's vocal so I think it's worthy of being used I just never expected someone to find this tiny gem.
Has anyone else ever heard anything about this? I've never once heard it referenced on any fan page or forum at all in the last few years and it's fascinating that something like this can exist and even big fans are oblivious. Enduring proof that something human in Karen's voice has appeal that spreads across and has the ability to touch all demographics and all of humanity.
