"This is powerful piano-driven soul with an upbeat, urban edge." - Sunday Magazine
Now, the prodigious talent has teamed up with one Ms Lauryn Hill to create music that we're sure will be nothing short of stunning. Here's what John had to say about working with Lauryn on a remix of his track 'So High', which is called the 'Cloud 9 remix'.
"In breaking news, I've just finished a duet remix of 'So High' with one of my favorite artists of all time, Lauryn Hill. It is her first appearance on a record in quite a while... I'm really excited to have Ms. Hill on the track. She's truly a genius. As you may know, I played on 'Everything is Everything' off 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' album and I have been wanting to work with her ever since. It's great to see that wish finally came true."
