about

'Listening to Bobby McFerrin sing may be hazardous to your preconceptions. Please be advised that, should you choose to subject yourself to this manโ€™s vocal alchemy, everything you thought you knew about the possibilities of the human voice will be challenged, discarded and rearranged.

McFerrinโ€™s four-octave vocal abilities and capacity for constant invention are on par with those of the greatest improvising instrumentalists, yet simultaneously the power, sophistication and soulfulness of his singing place him in a class of its own.

Thereโ€™s an unquestionable poetry to his free-form flights that is his and his alone.'

---

In 1987 McFerrin united with none other than Jack Nicholson to narrate & score an audiobook of Kipling's 'The Elephant's Child' - a lost, nostalgic rarity that now exists to many only as a distant memory.

For part #3 of our weekly single series, Deep Cover resident producer ROMO has breathed welcome new life into standout cut from the original project: 'Elephant's Child Lullaby'.

ROMO's less-is-more approach features only subtle additions to the original piece - dubbed-out electric piano swells, echoing rimshots & and a warm, enveloping low end - allowing McFerrin's hypnotic vocal performance to take centre stage, with a newfound, club-ready bassweight.

Free DL! We encourage you all to check out the original project and to support McFerrin's catalogue more broadly.
