Tame Impala's 'The less I know the better' is a song about the bitter sweetness of an unanswered love. Kevin Parker, the mastermind behind Tame Impala, recounts an all-too familiar tale where the girl Kevin is pinning for has gotten involved with a guy named 'Trevor'.

The video clip is shot by Spanish directors Canada, who turn the tale into a technicolor trip. The highly psychedelic clip shows the high school basketball player in love with the pretty cheerleader. She instead chooses to be with the teams mascot Gorilla, naturally called 'Trevor'. Damn you, Trevor!

Kevin Parker himself expressed that the song: "shouldn't be on a Tame Impala album because it has this dorky, white disco funk." As it turns out, whether it fits Tame Impala or not, today the song is on of the most famous songs released by Tame Impala.

Riding the crest of a wave, Drake had spent much of 2012 touring in support of Take Care, while also finding time to start the record label OVO Sound with his longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib, and embarking on sessions for his next album. With 40 once more handling production duties, alongside OVO Sound affiliates Boi-1da, Mike Zombie, and Majid Jordan, Nothing Was The Same became a darker affair than its predecessors. Over a set of songs that largely eschewed any pop affectations for a dense mix of eerie synths and street-tough trap beats, Drake, armed with an improved singing voice and peak-performance rapping skills, unleashed some of the most compelling and consistent vocal performances of his career.

Lead single “Started From The Bottom,” a brooding rags-to-riches affair replete with spectral piano lines and deep rumbling bass, presaged the new direction. “Wu-Tang Forever” continued the eerie tone with a sonic tribute to the Staten Island natives. Elsewhere, “Worst Behavior” featured one of Drake’s most menacing vocal turns over tense and scattershot beats, while the murky slowed-down samples, submarine sonics, and submerged trap beats of “305 To My City” sound like the song was recorded in the depths of the ocean.
