You don’t get to be six decades deep in your career without talent and tenacity. The ever-legendary Melba Moore has both in spades and continues to extend her legacy with each passing year. In 2022, she released her 28th album Imagine to great acclaim from her fans. Now she’s giving us all a special treat with her latest single “It Seems To Hang On.”
“It Seems To Hang On” is a cover of the Ashford & Simpson staple from their 1978 album Is It Still Good To You. While that version, with its pulsing disco grooves, was perfect for its era, Melba retools the song to fit her style and the current day. To that effect, it’s now become a mid-tempo R&B cut perfect for two-stepping to or just lounging around thinking about your love.
Melba is still in fine voice as she sings and harmonizes over the warm mix of synth piano, bass and gently knocking drums. Her vocal is subtle as she evokes the feeling of being wrapped up in a love that will always linger. She even makes time for a spoken moment on which she gets a little sassy before falling back into the groove.
“I recorded this classic as a way to honor my fans as well as two very special people Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson who opened up so many doors of opportunities for me,” the singer said of the song in a press release.
We’ll always have time for Melba Moore and “It Seems To Hang On” is a welcome addition to our playlists. The song will be added as a bonus track on Imagine, but you can give it a spin in full below.By D-Money https://soulbounce.com/2023/06/melba-moore-it-seems-to-hang-on/
