New Picnic Women: II Women EP
Ahhh Picnic Women, that jokester. The title to his latest collection of juke cuts comes off like the punchline to what he pulls off the title track, “II Women.” On that song, Picnic Women takes Mariah Carey’s and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day,” specifically the vocals from Boyz II Men, and pitches them both down and (more importantly for the zinger) up. Besides being funny, “II Women” is also one of the most sensual songs Picnic Women has put together yet, the touches of guitar hiding out in the back of the track giving the otherwise jagged number a silky finish. Elsewhere, Picnic Women lays out one of his fastest songs to date with the EP closer “African,” which pulses faster than anything else on II Women and in his discography up to now.
