“Old school and new school collide here as Mixmode Recordings boss and longtime deep house servant Delano Smith joins contemporary trailblazer Ash Lauryn on a seductive and smoky new single. Lauryn contributes a spoken word vocal that has her whispering into the mic with alluring late night intimacy as classic drums roll beneath dusty chords. Atlanta mainstay Kai Alcé then brings his signature bounce and swing to a remix that has brighter chord work. On the flip is the meditative ‘Let The Rhythm’ with its swirling chords and subtle Detroit touches with another entrancing and conscious spoken word from Lauryn finishing it with style.” — Juno
