Akon & Q ~ “Strawberry Letter 23″

7 years in the making, Q’s new album “Soul Bossa Nostra” is scheduled to release this summer. As the first single off the record, Quincy selected Akon’s rendition of Shuggie Otis’ “Strawberry Letter 23” – a song made famous by the Brothers Johnson in 1977. Quentin Tarantino also featured the song in his film Jackie Brown in 1997.

Akon was quoted as saying, “When Quincy called and told me about this album, I said you have to let me do “Strawberry Letter 23” and the funny thing is that’s the song he was thinking about already. We brought a new modern feel to this classic and I think everyone’s going to really enjoy it.”

  I like my music organic, sophisticated and played by real musicians who don’t pander to popular taste. So, sorry Q! I’m not too keen on this ‘modern’ take of what actually is a great song. Give me the BJ version anyday.
