Musiq Soulchild [2024] - Just Friends (Sunny) (DJ Soulchild Remix) [Humble Savage Records]

Unleashed on Bandcamp (and YouTube) today is the latest remix from Basel's DJ Soulchild.

He says "I've always felt like there's never been a decent club-friendly version of this Musiq Soulchild classic, so I wanted to change that with my groovy Future Funk approach". 

The song was Musiq Soulchild's debut (and lead single) from his debut album "Aijuswanaseing" in 2000 and reached #6 R&B and #31 Hot 100, not bad for a debut?  

It was subtitled "Just Friends (Sunny)" with Bobby Hebb's name added to the credits, so presumably it samples portions of "Sunny" but we can't really detect it, perhaps it's the chord progressions?

DJ Soulchild ups the tempo and beefs up the bassline for, as he says, club friendliness, with elements of Gwen McCrae's "Funky Sensation".

It's available only via DJ Soulchild's Bandcamp store.

IDK & Musiq Soulchild [2023] - Superwoman [Warner Bros.]

Released as a single yesterday from an album "F65" released today, is an epic 7:17 minute cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superwoman" by IDK & Musiq Soulchild.

For radio play it probably needs an intro edit and be faded out around 3 mins as it loses its way after 3 minutes (in our view).

We've only had a very quick skim through the 22 track album and it appears to be predominantly hip-hop.

IDK (a backronym for Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge) is rapper, singer, songwriter, producer Jason Mills born in London but raised in Port George's County, MD.

Musiq Soulchild is Talib Johnson one of the pioneers of neo soul who began his career in 1995 with Def Jam's Def Soul label.
