This is the very essence of deep house. That mixture of soulful Jazz and uptempo percussion to dance your stresses away. This album is extravagant and definitely meant for mature minds that still appreciate this style of music be it to get down to or just to relax. Enough respect to Moodyman for crossing boundaries in the music scene and the man Theo Parrish too.

I couldnโt agree with more. ๐ฏ I wish , I could express what you just said.โค

This track is just so beautiful, warm, soulful, wholesome. The texture is dripping. If love were a sound it would be this song. Absolute masterpiece, literally brings a tear to my eye.
Kholofelo Matlala
This will forever be one of the best Moodymann productions.
Etienne King
There's more personality in this song than any song you can hear on the radio these days. I will forever be a Moodyman fan. Long live his soul

I feel like that's always been the case with pop music. Why Do U Feel and this, wayyy too deep and intimate for airplay to the masses. This kind of music requires some level of good taste and attention span, which most people are lacking (sadly).

its just a remix

Been hearing for some years hearing this tune again and again. The older it grows the better it gets, it have this wise vibe to it that gets you more and more.

absolutely breathtaking .. the saxophone speaks to my soul, the rthym is integral to the atmosphere.. the keys skips around your mind hitting all the right notes, the vocal is the lingual interpretation that the music speaks of.. ย cant ask for anymore yo
