Justin Timberlake’s long-awaited, record-breaking single “Suit & Tie” has been a huge success, and when most hot new music hits, everyone wants to put their own spin on it, resulting in countless covers from a range of singers and even rappers. It’s hard to rummage through it all, separating the quality from the mediocre, but every now and then there’s one that’s just unique enough to stand out. Corey Mekell’s is one.
Mekell’s shortened one minute and fifty-four second cover showcases his smooth and controlled vocal talent. This is just a teaser of what the R&B singer is capable of as he gears up to debut his own project.
