One of our favourite songs of 2023 was an album track "Never Change" by BJ The Chicago Kid on his "Gravy" album (9 Nov '23) which featured Phillip Bailey (EWF). So it was a pleasant surprise to come across a live performance of it
included on
Noochie's Live From The Front Porch Presents: BJ The Chicago
Kid
along with four other songs:
Never Change 0:43
Church 4:57 (In My Mind 2016)
Smooth
7:00 (Three EP 2021)
Turnin’ Me Up 8:58 (In My Mind 2016)
Turn Your Lights Down Low (Bob Marley cover) 11:48
BJ has recently opened for Ledisi on her "The Good Life Tour" and is
currently touring with "The Gravy Tour" (dates/tickets in link) promoting his "Gravy" album which kicked off in Washington D.C. where he recorded this
performance.
BJ The Chicago Kid is 38 year old Brian James Sledge, not surprisingly from Chicago, who has been active since 2001 co-writing David Hollister's
"For You". His vocals first appeared on Kanye West's "Impossible" in 2006 to promote the movie "Mission Impossible III".
His debut solo album "Pineapple Now-Laters" didn't materialise until 2012 which won him a contract with Motown.
He has subsequently released a further two albums, "On My Mind" in 2016 and "1123" in 2019, both on Motown and "Gravy" last year.
As Bailey doesn't actually appear on the live video, and because we love the song so much, we've included the official visualiser video for "Never Change".
