We love this 'Apple' remix from KIRBY and Pink Sweat$

August 20, 2020 by Toby Boston in R&B, Soul

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

R&B/Soul songstress KIRBY teams up with soulful singer/songwriter Pink Sweat$ in this powerful remix for ‘Apple’— an original from KIRBY’s debut album 'Sis.'. With Apple (Remix), the duo stripped down to a moody R&B track featuring a warm, expressive guitar ballad. Both singers' performed perfectly; from the harmonizing to the highs and lows, KIRBY and Pink Sweat$ deliver their best yet.

“I wanted to strip ‘Apple’ down and make it about the emotion and vocals. Pink brought a vulnerability and male perspective that really hits deep. With all we’re going through right now, I hope this song makes falling in love a little easier.“ - KIRBY
