South East London rapper Christopher Blacc has teamed up with producer Derrick Thomas, who reimagines Erykah Badu's classic “Other Side of the Game” to create this tasteful new release entitled “Love Is”.
Heavily influenced by Robert Glasper and J Dilla, the pairing of the jazzy soul instrumental, with its smooth, simple beat, against Blacc’s raw, but melodic delivery is a frankly, a stroke of genius.
Blacc also enlists the help of producer R-Kay on the keys accompanied by a saxophone solo from Lewis Daniel to complement the uplifting lyrics.
This tune hits the sweet spot.
