A few weeks back, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge gave us the first look at their upcoming The Midnight Hour collaborative project through the release of their "Black Beacon" and the Cee-Lo Green assisted “Questions.” Now, the duo returns with another teaser in the form of a remake of Luther Vandross’s “So Amazing.”
“We are huge lovers of Luther Vandross’ music,” Ali and Adrian say. “Our adoration towards Luther was mentioned in a passing conversation, which prompted SONY Legacy to invite us to meet with the members of Luther’s estate. We discussed many things and a question was posed, if one could reimagine Luther’s music in 2018 what would it sound like?”
Just like it’s predecessor, “So Amazing” is host to all the sonic qualities that define both Ali and Adrian as artists, fusing together all the blessed elements of hip-hop, R&B, soul, and jazz.
“Our version of ‘So Amazing’ is an example of a unique and special collaboration towards reimagining one of his classic songs,” they add. “In addition to this song we will be making an announcement soon in relation to Luther Vandross and Spotify, but for now we present to you the initial blossom from this collaboration.”
Quotable Lyrics:
Love has truly been good to me
Not even one sad day
Or minute have I had since you've come my way
I hope you know I'd gladly go
Anywhere you take me
