Anita Baker may not be front and center of the mainstream music scene anymore but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t still have it. The soul singer with the sultry jazz voice that gave us hits like “I apologize,” “Body and Soul,” and “Giving You The Best That I Got” is back at it and giving us something you don’t often hear of. New artists are notorious for remaking old classics, but Anita took a song from a newer artist and decided to make it her own.

Many women fell in love with Tyrese’s 1999 hit “Lately” but now Anita is throwing her own contralto take on the semi-old school hit. Take a listen and tell us what you think. Whose version are you feeling most?

    Anita has a beautiful voice, but I think the remake is awful. Tyrese won’t get much royalties from Anita’s remake of his song.

    Anita did her thing…but Tyrese gotta be one heck of an artist to get “Thee” Anita Baker to remake his single . Give the boy his props!!!
