Still here in 2024. One of my favorite covers of all time. Just brilliant.

[@hungrycamel13]

Nice touch with the D'Angelo "Lady" riff.

[@philiprose2784]

Him and Tom Misch love to do it

[@natejacobs3173]

Listening to this incredibly talented artist during a pandemic on a night of a full moon Aug 03, 2020. There's light at the end of the tunnel.

[@ccmmrrnn]

I just got onto him a little over a year ago. Can't believe he's only 21 in this video, already a good enough singer and musician to have an incredible career, yet somehow he's leagues better now. His COLORS show from 2 years ago just slams it in your face how far he's come as a vocalist. Hope that light's getting nearer for you Nathaniel, all the best.

[@ramiromaciel6045]

word!

[@Con_tron88]

I've probably listened to this 150,000 times the past few hours.

[@maleniaswinton6431]

Guy on the guitar in the bottom far right corner is me dancing when I have delicious food. Also the air piano hands are me all day.

[@evrydae]

I was walking around in a tiny surf shop in Espinho, Portugal and this song came on... THIS version. I was so in love with that moment (':

[@nohandle740]

Portugal is dope

[@PeaceFameLutsenko]

Are you serious? The transition to D'Angelo just made me so happy. Fuck.

[@scarlettm3476]

i am sooo surprised this doesn't have millions of views... I actually even prefer this to the original. SO MUCH LOVE

[@Aranaaaw]

5:35 - they know they just fucking killed it! Fire.

[@UncleFishbits]

It's been 30 years since I've seen any talent like this. I am so excited to annoy people in talking about him.

[@BigBClay]

damn......I'm regretting not hearing this sooner.....this is straight dope cooked in the depths of the mind of an evil musical genius capable of worldwide groove & soul

[@MrMaurice656]

Love the little ode to d'angelo

[@daconsultingservices205]

yes!

[@alimbo9436]

+Maurice Adams thought I was the only one to see that!

[@LupesSwag]

Didn't catch it

[@rockenroller9749]

Fo real D'Angelo the Don !

[@yo_bro]

Aaayyee d. Angelo touch that's a nice song. But the joint is your song MIDNIGHT MISCHEIF

[@dianabuxton6430]

This is my favorite cover of his! I can't wait till he comes to NYC.

[@garylibero4270]

This cat is off the hook!

[@ryuuzaakii1656]

I discovered Jordan when Fat Freddy's Drop posted this video on their feed many moons ago. What a rare talent he is.

People are sleeping on him big time. I also get this Remy Shand feel when he sings.

[@PalesaSekhoetsane]

For real though. He has so much talent.

[@blacklily624]

IRON5 yes remy Shand. Wonder what he’s up to.

[@jamestphilipp]

[@eliottglinn]

His voice always reminded me of Joe Dukie! What a sick cover!

[@rishabhbose29]

Man this is musically so diverse. It's a like Sunday buffet but done tastefully right. I mean from Reggae to Soul to RnB to Hip Hop. Woah. And the transitions are so smooth.

[@smokeandmirr0rs]

can't agree with you there mate, FFD are legends in the game. nice to see jordan rakei showing love

[@hellovanite]

Thumbed up that comment just because they are so good. It's a different more Quincy Jones type vibe though, especially the fills with the gat. However, FFD are incredible and unparalleled!

[@felipedourado]

No, it's not. It's different and also very good! 😉

[@kathytakemura5999]

So dope.

[@ronaldngcobo7812]

[@Hemisphericalflows]
