Dear Beverley, it's a tribute to Jay Kay , Roachford , Luther Vandross, Junior. Just like the song Main Vein, you smash your voice through your throat. Magnificent, just keep singing. Greetz Tony
Amazing it's so weird a world we live in were she is not the number one female singer in the world. She is amazing. Great pitch tasty and musical melismas... Great range may i go on??? Wow beautiful woman and beautiful voice.
This is amazing....One of my all time favorite Jamiroquai songs especially the demo version that was played on the Gilles Peterson show on KISS FM in 1992!!
@DiegoCarrera1 The instrumental is nowhere near as good but you have to admit, her vocal is much more powerful than Jay Kay's. I too prefer the Jamiroquai version and I love Jay Kay's voice, it's superb, but Beverley has done an amazing version of the song. Cover's are rarely as good as the original but as far as covers go, this one is VERY good!
@DiegoCarrera1 Yeah her voice is definitely more powerful, which is what Jamiroquai covers need in my opinion, not to shoot down Jay Kay's voice at all, especially when this came out! Beverley's done exactly what I wanted from a female voice, embellished on notes where Jay Kay can't, and with such clarity too! And ya know, some covers are better than originals, but when you slow a song down like this down, or any song for that matter, you can do so much with it, brilliantly played by the band!!!
@Annemiekjeeeee Definitely - the original instrumental is much more upbeat and funkier (and better), but boy did she give this song the atmosphere that the lyrics deserved. Lyrics indeed, Bev.
So Lush... this is what I'm talking about! Ms. Knight, you have given us an amazing take on Jay Kay's 1992 classic from Emergency on Planet Earth! Respect Due...
OMG!!!!!! I can not believe this! This is unbelievably fantastic!!! I know you've done Jamiroquai proud. Tell my future husband you're singing this at our wedding! lol.
@piho1 they did, on Main Vein - A funk Odyssey. She was more backing vocals but I think that's when he got a taste of backing singers and went forth with them on the next album.

There isn't an emoticon to expressed the awesomeness I have just experienced. I didn't think it was possible to outdo the Jamiroquai version but...
