Liverpool-based artists Baltic Jazz Recordings, helmed by Grammy and Brit Award-winning producer Steve Levine, and MT Jones have released a captivating and timeless piece of music with “Forever & A Day.” Released this September 6, this collaboration combines soul, R&B, and jazz to create a sound that serves both classic and modern audiences.
Produced by Grammy and Brit Award-winning producer Steve Levine, “Forever & A Day” opens with a mesmerizing soundscape, featuring shimmering melodies and breathy, high, vocalizing harmonies. The strings swell and the brass pumps ever so subtly with a gentlity that the rumbling drums counterbalance them with the thrill. The instrumentals groove together in a catchy and uplifting but relaxing, jazzy suaveness that synthesizes and goes like the different waves of a river.
The lyrics stay classically timeless too as they explore love and commitment, and the music perfectly captures the emotional intensity of the subject matter. The chorus, “Share my time with you forever/Share my love with you forever and a day,” mesmerizes with the simplicity expressed with grandness. While the mood may be elevated by the joyous background vocals, MT Jones holds the floor with his raspy, high, sonorous voice that glides smoothly from line to line. His voice soars with an exuberance palpable behind his delivery and attends to us.
“Forever & A Day” by Baltic Jazz Recordings and MT Jones is a masterfully curated classic that helps it blend into the vintage eras of music, and this fact alone makes it a must-listen for fans of soul, R&B, and jazz music.
