Don’t get fooled by the title, “Cha Cha Cha” bears no relation to Cuban ballroom dancing or the late ’90s anthem from the now defunct Flipmode Squad. The collaborative efforts of the Chitown producer, Rediculus, and singer/songwriter, Airon Azure, unite under the moniker RedAir, and aim to add a new dimension to the windy city’s contemporary sound. The duo have been working together on their craft, off and on, since 2004; these efforts have allowed them to forge their own unique style, based on the music they love. Rediculus’ brooding and sparse instrumental on “Cha Cha Cha,” sets the tone for Azure’s delicate, yet distorted vocals. The end result is a rather pensive anecdote of how to navigate through the world when your options seem limited. There’s no telling if “Cha Cha Cha” is part of a bigger project or just a loosie to vibe with; regardless, hit play and enjoy this cut from the Chitown natives.
