Grammy-nominated R&B soul singer and songwriter BJ the Chicago Kid has teamed up with rising R&B star Coco Jones on soulful new single ‘Spend The Night’, ready to soundtrack those late summer nights.

Released on 8th September via RCA Records, ‘Spend The Night’ is a sultry pop-soul track taken from BJ’s forthcoming album project. With a nostalgic yet timeless feel in homage to classic soul duets, its uptempo groove and shimmering synths are the perfect backdrop to BJ  and Coco’s caramel smooth vocals.

Elaborating on the new song, BJ The Chicago Kid says, “Music is like a journey, and with our new song, we’ve taken an exciting detour from our standard sounds. It’s an experimental experience. Sometimes, you have to wander off the beaten path to discover a whole new world of creativity.”

Jones adds, “Working with BJ was such an awesome experience. I am always so inspired by artists who love what they do. I think this song, with our tones together, is something really special.”

‘Spend The Night’ stands to continue to accelerate BJ’s success in 2023, following the reaction to previous singles ‘Forgot Your Name’ featuring Cory Henry and ‘Liquor Store In The Sky’ featuring Freddie Gibbs. The feel-good singles offer a glimpse into his upcoming multi-track project in collaboration with producer Yeti Beats (Doja Cat’s musical right hand). The album is an organic music match made in heaven that materialised in less than a week.

Set to drop this autumn, BJ and Yeti’s forthcoming project was recorded with a live band in Memphis, Tennessee at Royal Studios, the home of soul legend Al Green whose ‘70s mellow grooves served as inspiration for the album’s overall sound. Features will include Coco Jones,  Audra Day, Phillip Bailey of Earth Wind and Fire, and a well-rounded cast of friends.
