The appearance marked the beginning of a furtive cross-cultural, cross-generational collaborative relationship born of mutual respect and admiration that would be repeated again in 2017 when Rundgren sat in with The Roots on a taping of the Fallon show. Now, these two musical giants reunite on a studio recording, a track that will appear on Rundgren\u2019s upcoming\u00a0<em>Space Force<\/em>\u00a0album coming next year. The new single, \u201cGodiva Girl,\u201d is a delectable slice of neo-funk sweetness with a stellar, soulful groove, decorated with warm keyboards and smooth as silk background vocals. It\u2019s the kind of rich musical confection that fans of both Rundgren and The Roots knew these two could cook up together, and it\u2019s so been worth the wait.<br><br><strong>Stream\/download the single:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_the_roots_godiva_girl\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/todd_rundgren_the_roots_godiva_girl<\/a><br><strong>Check out the lyric video:<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZfjM5P2WnK4\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZfjM5P2WnK4<\/a><br><br>Watch for the new Rundgren studio album\u00a0<em>Space Force<\/em>, which features more collaborations from the likes of Weezer\u2019s Rivers Cuomo, Sparks, hip hop artist Narcy and others, coming in 2022!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early 2011, as Todd Rundgren was promoting an upcoming tour, he stopped by Late&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[239],"class_list":["post-16148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-todd-rundgren"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16148"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16150,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16148\/revisions\/16150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
