[2021]

This rendition is a fresh take on one of the smoothest tunes - "Human Nature" ... a hit made popular by Michael Jackson.

This song went down in 80's history as it became a template for many new jack swing and hip-hop soul ballads. Originally composed by the band Toto's founding member, Steve Porcaro, it was later brought to life under Quincy Jones' direction along with John Bettis' writing. This piece speaks to the strange social fragility and yet beautiful oneness of the human race.

In this acoustic cover, indie singers Jonathan Isaac (@contactjisaac) & D. Riley (@2theskyent) team up to add relevant lyrical twists that address current world issues.

This collaboration of talent includes Gabriel Michael (@shadesofgabe) on keys, the percussion of Simeon Moore (@sim3onmoore), and vocal production by Yung Mundo (@yungmondomusic).

We hope you enjoy it.

A preview of a concept of an acoustic, meditative track.  The idea came from my journal thoughts during prayer in church.

A preview of an old concept over an acoustic jazz track.

Lyrics changed to:

Keeper of time
You reveal the light
Piercing into the darkness of night
Fullness of time
You reveal what's mine
Showing me the way, the truth, the life

So I come boldly
To Your throne of grace
Here I stand, crying Holy!
You are, You are my GOD!

A snippet of a concept for a dancy house mix.

Lyrics changed to:

[Talking]
I gotta give it to you
All the things I really need to say
Because all that matters in this life
Is that you're real

[Verse 1]
Yesterday does not dictate your fate
GOD alone knows future days
You have the power inside to change -today
This mess around us can be saved

'Kuz there is a path that we must take
And we must forge it carefully
Focus inward and don't delay
For the things that come your way

[Chorus]
(Say this with me)
I believe in what's greater
I believe in what's real
I believe you'll/we'll make it
Doesn't matter how you/we feel
