Back in February, Quincy collaborated with his father Al B. Sure! to remake his 1988 classic hit “Nite and Day.” Now, a video has arrived for the record titled “I Can Tell You (Nite and Day 2.0).”
Together, they refreshed the song to make it modern but kept the same essence of the original. “I didn’t want to devalue the beauty that is, was, and always will be in (the original),” Quincy told Billboard. “I’m not trying to present this as the new ‘Nite and Day.'”
“I Can Tell You Ft. Al B Sure! (Night and Day 2.0)” by Quincy is a modern update to the classic R&B track, bringing a fresh energy while retaining the soulful essence of the original. The song opens with a smooth and seductive groove, anchored by a rhythmic bassline and gentle percussion that create a laid-back vibe. The production incorporates elements of contemporary R&B with a nostalgic nod to the late ’80s and early ’90s.
Quincy’s vocals are smooth and sultry, echoing the charm and romanticism of classic R&B. His delivery is relaxed yet full of emotion, capturing the intimate and personal feel of the song. Al B Sure! joins in with his signature style, adding a layer of depth and nostalgia. Their voices blend seamlessly, creating a rich and harmonious sound that feels like a conversation between generations.
The lyrics of “I Can Tell You” speak to the nuances of a romantic relationship, exploring themes of love, desire, and the subtle cues that signal a deeper connection. The chorus is catchy and melodic, with a refrain that echoes the original “Night and Day” while bringing a contemporary twist. The production is polished, balancing the soulful tones with modern electronic elements that keep the track feeling current.
Overall, “I Can Tell You” is a captivating mix of classic and contemporary R&B. It’s a smooth and enjoyable track that bridges generations, offering a sense of nostalgia while embracing a fresh perspective. Quincy’s and Al B Sure!’s performances complement each other beautifully, creating a timeless vibe that appeals to fans of both classic and modern R&B.
At age 3, Quincy was adopted by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. When Quincy first decided he wanted to be an artist, he wanted to be a rapper, but his grandmother suggested he follow in his father’s footsteps and become a singer, which he did. She even paid for his vocal lessons. He stated in an interview that his biggest musical influences are Luther Vandross, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye.
On June 24th, Quincy announced that he signed to Bad Boy Records. He’s also starring in the new Fox musical drama “Star” alongside Queen Latifah and Benjamin Bratt.
“I Can Tell You (Nite and Day 2.0)” is from Quincy’s new project, This Is For You, which was released on Valentine’s Day.
