Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge bring out another single from their upcoming Midnight Hour project with their version of Luther Vandross’s “So Amazing.” The song receives new sonic elements with Latin rhythm, harps and jazz guitar but Vandross’s original vocals are intact. Muhammad and Younge explained the origins of the cover in a press release:Â
“We are huge lovers of Luther Vandross’ music. 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? Our version of ‘So Amazing’ is an example of a unique and special collaboration towards reimagining one of his classic songs. 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.”
The Midnight Hour comes out next week.Â
