That voice has inspired some of the most accomplished musicians in the industry. The song is a worthy follow-up to “Falling Deep in Love” (2019), another Horse Meat Disco gem that showcases the power and potency of Sledge’s signature voice. It serves up a fresh and modern twist on classic dance music, with the singer’s unmistakable voice ringing out over the rhythm.

Sledge has a new groove of her own, however. Sledge herself has also stopped by Club Quarantine, giving D-Nice the ultimate seal of approval.
