Legendary Philadelphia Soul group The Stylistics have collaborated with global icon Shania Twain on a brand new single ‘Yes, I Will’.
Written by Shania, this beautiful love song describes the hardships that both she and The Stylistics have endured throughout their careers in the music industry and their lives in general which they have triumphantly fought through, and how unconditional love helped them do this. The melodic content of ‘Yes, I Will,’ is infectious, and the gorgeous blending of vocals showcases both artists’ incredible talents. It is a celebration of love and all that endures.
This duet is the first single off The Stylistics’ upcoming star-studded new album, Falling In Love With My Girl, which, as well as Shania Twain, also features the likes of Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, Bill Champlin of Chicago, Jay Graydon, Gene Simmons of Kiss, Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, The Real Thing and Tower of Power.
Shania was invited by the Stylistics to sing on their new album. She had the perfect song in mind, and once the band heard the infectious soulful hit, they completely agreed. Shania worked on the song with Nathan East, Ray Parker Jr. and Steve Lukather.
Shania commented:
“I’m not known for making Soul records but Soul has always been a big influence for me musically. I have some friends who were part of making many of the great soul and RnB records of my youth. We get together when we can and jam out stuff. Several songs have come from these gatherings, when I have musicians around me, I can’t help but get to songwriting. I’m inspired being with talent I admire so much and one day I hope to make something of these songs as a collection but this track “Yes, I Will” found the most perfect home.”
“I’m so in awe of The Stylistics for their natural talent and effortless delivery. I can listen to their voices endlessly. I had this idea for the song “Yes, I Will” it all came together quite quickly for me lyrically and melodically, it was just a natural flow.”
“Luckily I had some wonderful musicians at my house that day Steve Luthaker, Ray Parker Jnr, Nathan East – they were all visiting and I had already laid down the demo – that morning. Before I knew it they were picking up instruments and adding their own sounds to the track but it wasn’t until The Stylistics vocal married with my own vocal that the track really came together.”
“Just a beautiful soulful love song. I don’t know how I would have added the song to my own album – but it found its way to the perfect place amongst a truly wonderful new album from The Stylistics and I am so pleased that we can finally share it with you.”
Airrion Love from The Stylistics adds, “I fell in love with Shania Twain the first time I heard ‘You’re Still the One’ – a great song that I still love. When we heard there might be a chance to do something with her we said, “Hell yeah!””
