Video Premiere: Zepherin Saint Remixes ‘Optimistic’ With Ann Nesby and G3
To celebrate their 100th release, the U.K.’s Tribe Records wanted to pick a special song to remix, and scored gold with “Optimistic,” the 1991 debut single from the groundbreaking gospel act Sounds of Blackness.
Zepherin Saint, producer, DJ, talent scout and co-founder of Tribe, handled the honors himself, giving the song a contemporary house mix, plus a special bonus. He scored new vocals from Sounds of Blackness lead Ann Nesby, her daughter Jamecia Bennett, also a Sounds of Blackness alum as well as background singer, and grand daughter and former American Idol finalist Paris Bennett. The trio dubbed G3 sounds incredible. Hopefully, there’s more to come.
Watch the “Optimistic” music video exclusively on Yahoo Music. It tells an inspiring story of a discouraged ballet dancer who ultimately has a breakthrough.
Sounds of Blackness were signed to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ Perspective Records.
