Delivering a perfect fusion of House and R&B sensibilities, multi-platinum selling producer and songwriter Mike City teams up with legendary vocalist Faith Evans for summer anthem 'When I Luv'.
The frst single to be taken from Mike City's forthcoming album 'The Feel Good Agenda' coming later this year on BBE, the illustrious
pedigree of artists involved in 'When I Luv' is further bolstered by a remix from New York's most celebrated DJ, Kenny Dope.
Equally reminiscent of golden-era late 90's R&B as classic soulful house, 'When I Luv' is a powerful back & forth duet performed between Mike City himself and hip hop / soul queen Faith Evans, exploring universal feelings of fear and uncertainty when it comes to giving your heart to another.
Kenny Dope guides 'When I Luv' expertly onto the dance-foor with an energetic and brash reworking. Heavy drums and a massive synth
hook neatly juxtapose the original's smooth, jazzy chords and of course those soulful vocals. An instrumental version and 'Keyapella' are also included: perfect tools for creative DJs.
Writing and producing his frst #1 record back in the year 2000 (‘I Wish’ performed by Carl Thomas), Mike went on to work with Brandy, Rihanna, Angie Stone and Jamie Foxx as wellas penning Sunshine Anderson’s smash hit ‘Heard It All Before’. Released in June 2017, new album 'The Feel Good Agenda' boasts cameo vocal appearances from leading lights of the urban music scene including: Faith Evans, Lalah Hathaway, Dwele, Teedra Moses and the man whose voice kick-started Mike's career, Carl Thomas.

20 years ago, the "Disco Spectrum" series (first released 1999) was a musical revelation to me!
(Together with "Jumpin'" 1 + 2 on Harmless).
BBE is for sure one of the best labels for Disco compilations.
Thank you for the constant release of high quality music! Ordinary Joe
