About "Beauty In The Dark (Groove With You) (Mos Def)" by The Isley Brothers
Mos Def reframes the Isley Brothers' 'Beauty in the Dark' as a smoky, after-hours meditation. The groove is slowed to a crawl, and the title's paradox deepens: romance found in shadows, warmth in the low light. It's a reconstruction that feels like a secret.
