    The latest dish on Cornell’s musical menu is an upbeat, danceable tune called “It’s So Nice,” which he wrote and produced.  In the song, he tells the story of a man who’s about to leave a party but sees a woman who catches his eye, moving him to stay a little longer to get acquainted with her.  As you listen to the groove while hearing the story unfold, you may be reminded of songs like Dwele’s “Find a Way” and Silk Sonic’s “Skate.”  Even if not, “It’s So Nice” has the type of groove that’ll get you tapping your toes and/or nodding your head to the beat in no time.  It could also be one of those cuts that you play in your car with the top down.  

    “It’s So Nice” is the first of a group of tracks being released prior to Cornell CC Carter’s upcoming album in the fall.  Check out the song below.
