Semaje has released a neo-soul rendition of Bill Withers’ 1977 gem, “Lovely Day” (Tyscot), and it’s available now on all major digital platforms. The song was released alongside an amazing live visual.
The twenty-something singer-songwriter hails from a musical family on his mother’s side and his love of music was further nurtured at the Rock of Ages Church of God in Christ (COGIC). “My dad took me to church there,” he recalls. “I loved it. I was singing and into everything. The First Lady, Valerie Mitchell, really took time with me and she groomed me.”
“I’m an old head,” Semaje laughs in talking of his “Lovely Day” release. “I’d listen to Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Bill Withers. I believe we need some music that we can start the day with, and I wanted to put out an inspirational song to give us that morning push.” His mellow treatment of “Lovely Day” serves as a showcase for his smooth falsetto and how he handles Withers’ elongated closing note is akin to a flock of doves being released into the sky. He soars and sways into the heavens just like this track does.
