(June 5, 2020) One of the pleasant surprises of the past couple of years has been the emergence of singer and songwriter Lucky Daye. His debut album, Painted, was a left field hit that showed an artist who emerged, fully formed.
As he prepares his follow up LP, Daye has recruited legendary singer, songwriter and producer Babyface to help on a cover of one of ‘Face’s biggest compositions, “Love Shoulda Brought You Home,” first a hit for Toni Braxton in 1992, and now a loping new song by Daye simply called “Shoulda.”
Like the original version, “Shoulda” tells the sad tale of a lover who has lost that someone special, and is trying to figure out why. The new version gives a nice, contemporary spin on the song, and it works nicely. And, of course, bringing along Babyface was a great move, too. Check out “Shoulda” below, and let us know what you think.
