Radio Can’t Stop Playing “You & I”

Radio Can’t Stop Playing

  • Avant, ‘You & I’

    Currently in rotation on: KCEP Power 88 in Las Vegas

    R&B favorites Avant and Keke Wyatt return with yet another stellar single, “You & I”; it’ll be on Avant’s new album, Face the Music, due out in February. The song sounds like an old Motown classic, with Avant singing like Marvin Gaye and Wyatt channeling Tammi Terrell. It’s been 12 years since Avant and Wyatt joined forces — for a cover of Rene & Angela’s 1983 classic “My First Love” — and the chemistry they create when together in “You & I” is so strong, I think it’s Avant’s most soulful slow jam since his first album. If these two made an album of duets in the near future, I would not be mad at all. — DJ Benzo, Power88 music director
