Music moves quickly online. Almost too quickly. The blessing and curse of its digital age has become that somebody, somewhere, has already heard your favorite new song before you will. What you read about, sample on SoundCloud, or get sent by a friend is less often a personal discovery than: bleh, old news. Take Chet Faker's blissful, stop-you-in-your-tracks cover of "No Diggity. Then came the disappointment. Apparently, it's actually been floating online for the better part of a year already, propelled not just by hype, but also real-world airplay on BBC Radio 1 in London and in Faker's native Australia. His latest single — out last year everywhere else, but new to America via this week's stateside release of the EP — is another stunner. To start, "I'm into You" is definitive proof that Faker isn't a one-'n'-done bedroom pop maestro, better with clever covers than original thoughts. It's as crafty a tune as I've heard all year — one that, even if I've come to it late, sounds nothing less than perfect at the moment.
