About a year ago, I told Karriem and Rob “Let’s get in the studio and just cook up” not knowing what the project we were embarking on. I was just inspired to make music with these brothers. And of course, we couldn’t go in without Burniss(Boom) on bass. We also invited one of our new-found compadres, Samora Pinderhughes to collab with us. These 2 or 3 day sessions were embodied with fun, creativity, chord progressions and sometimes whack freestyles (Thanks Rob) ha ha! But somewhere during the course of this creative excursion. Rob, Karriem and I decided to form a group and we chose the name “August Greene”. This whole group thing got me excited and it took the ceiling off anything I thought before and we just made music. The way we all were born to do the way we all love to do. Speaking of Love, it was one session we were in the “live room” and we were discussing music and the song “Optimistic” came up in the conversation. We all talked about how it was one of our favorite songs ever created. That prompted “well, let’s do a remake of it”. We need to do a remake of it “ I repeated. So with no ceiling and no restrictions we just went in and recreated the song. But wait I forgot to mention we were thinking who could sing this song or should we get multiple vocalist to do it. Rob said let’s see if Brandy will do it. She just so happens to be one of the greatest voices of all time and her vocal abilities are nothing but divine. So we went into Electric Lady and re-did Optimistic in our own way but honoring the original for how incredible and moving it is. This was created as a gospel song but transcended in the 90s into every arena, club, church or wedding you could find. We found ourselves inspired and excited about the song and I am very very excited to be releasing today on @ as the 1st single from our upcoming August Greene project. I hope y’all enjoy and feel Inspired. Because there is no time greater than now to be Optimistic.
