Last year, we introduced SoulTrackers to smooth soul vocalist Kenya with her very nice remake of Michael Jackson’s “I Can’t Help It.” It was the highlight of a great career year for the singer.
Now, Kenya is back and is working with SoulTracks faves, the brothers from Kloud 9. Together, they’ve issued a hot new single called “Be Here.” The sibling act that has produced its own music and songs by the British acid jazz band Incognito steered the production on the track that anchors Kenya’s forthcoming album, My Own Skin.
Opening with a deep guitar riff reminiscent of Ernie Isley’s Stratocaster on 1977’s “Voyage to Atlantis,” “Be Here” is a balmy ode to fidelity, forgiveness and enduring romance. If you like it, you can hear more from Kenya at her site, kenyaMJMusic.com. But in the meantime, we’re glad ot have “Be Here” as our newest SoulTracks First Listen. Check it out below!
