You know MJB’s been through some shit, without even having to listen to her albums. I mean, Stronger With Each Tear? Anyway, this new Marley-Marl-remix-single-of “I Am” just surfaced. It’s almost a TV track, maybe there’s another vocal version of it somewhere, or maybe there’s a hot Red Cafe acapella someone can throw on top it. Anyway, Marley’s treatment of the song takes it back to the “Real Love” era, employing heavy basslines, snapping drums and an old school feel. Digging this, even in it’s minimalism.
