This week’s one to watch is ‘ I Wanna Touch You Baby’ by Dean Mark ft. Roy Ayers, Najee & Vula , released on DMG records .
Multi instrumentalist and vocalist Dean Mark recruits Roy Ayers to play the vibes on a funky reimagining of “I Wanna Touch You Baby,” a song that first appeared on Ayers’ own ‘You Send Me’ .
Mark flips it 180 degrees from Ayers’ sensual, silky-smooth original and dives deep into the funk with his bass playing and hard driving drumming by Gareth Brown leading the way. Najee, another jazz and R&B Grammy award – winning legend, brings in some creativity on the tenor saxophone. On guest vocals we have the UK’s very own Vula providing the soulful magic
