Saki [2021] - Now [Watashi Records]

I'm only posting this as it samples the 1982 modern soul classic from Michael Wycoff "Looking Up To You", so its a good enough excuse to post it!

"Now" is a track from a new album by Japanese artist Saki called "Gerberiism". I'm pretty sure another track "kimigairu" also samples something but can't place it.

What can you really say about a track that uses the backing of a classic and is sung in Japanese, although parts (the hook "Now Is The Time For Action") are sung in English?  It's quite bizarre really.
