Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge are sharing “So Amazing,” a rework of Luther Vandross‘ 1986 song, following a chance meeting with the estate of Vandross.
“We are huge lovers of Luther Vandross’ music,” the duo told Rolling Stone. “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.”
The song will appear on their The Midnight Hour album, out June 8th featuring Raphael Saadiq, Bilal, Marsha Ambrosius, Questlove, No I.D., James Poyser and many more.
