Reel People continues tapping into a pool of top talent, this time pairing with a veteran R&B vocalist. Our latest First Listen welcomes the return of 90’s hit-maker, Adina Howard (“Freak Like Me,” “Do You Wanna Ride”), guided by the Swedish DJ/producer’s Opolopo’s house perspective of “Mind Reader.” Balancing Opolopo’s easy-going funk with jazzy synthesizer fills, “Mind Reader” provides another invigorating club moment for old school urban connoisseurs. And Howard’s understated yet confident performance keeps the soulful flow intact. Check it out below.
