Esperanza Spalding Radio Song Official

[@dunadinha4737]

Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song Now you can't help singin' along Even though you never heard it You keep singin' it wrong This song will keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Even though you never heard it You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one And then they start mixing it up When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save When you're tired and scared of missing something Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better Enter that song Now that's how we know the power of song can save That's how we know the power of song can save Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits Words are speaking through you Yes, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen But another comes in again Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin' Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it And you keep singing it wrong This song will keep you grooving (Can't stop it moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) The words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits When the words are speaking through you Ooh, this song's the one (You gotta make moving) Play it to lift your spirits (Soon as you hear it) Words are speaking through you (As if they knew you) Yes, this song's the one Yes, this song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart (Play it to lift your spirits) Because you like to, because you need to This song's the one Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to Now if you want to Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart Because you like to, because you need to

I met Esperanza last night...she is absolutley as wonderful as her music!!

[@NmpK24]

This lady is pure class.

[@brokenwing2005]

Very underrated song!

[@JVLIVSPhotography]

I love this woman. She's a female version of Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Rick James, Billy Preston, Lenny Kravitz, Larry Graham, Stanley Clarke (as well as so many others whose names are too long to name). Versatility in every sense of the word defines her. Can't wait to see her in concert one of these days. BTW, they played this @ Starbucks just now. I plan to get this bad boy next pay period!

[@tizmon]

So this was written nine years ago. I hope you have learned by now that listing male performers to praise her really don’t make sense in many ways. Are you saying male performers are better but she is included as an equal? Listing so many of them to suggest she is unique? Why does she have to be a female version of anyone? You must not be alive being so badly handicapped. Rip.

[@reyybarra390]

I remember when she won the best new artist Grammy over the biebster with his outrageously silly baby,baby,baby song and all of the little girls were outraged that he lost to Esperanza!!😆😆😆

[@willgillis4207]

More like Jaco meets Billie☺️

[@akemygoto4425]

In fact, her name should be in this list. Why gender comparison? She is her own version.

[@JVLIVSPhotography]

@@akemygoto4425 that wasn’t my intent. All I was saying was she’s right up there with the greats before her. She even surpassed some of them. It was just a compliment, no more no less. And you’re right, she IS her own version (gonna edit that in my comment, thank you).

[@lizzitrumbore]

I can see how you think that but she's definitely not selling out. If you look into her project more, you will learn that the mission statement behind this album was not to get her onto the radio necessarily, but to bring jazz more into the forefront of today's mainstream music. If you haven't already, you should check out the DVD that went along with the bonus edition of the cd, it contains 10+ music videos and some really awesome behind the scenes features that are worth seeing.

[@tesswonderful4194]

2022 - I needed this today!

[@wiltner]

I hear Erykah Badu, Basia and Steely Dan in this one track alone. Brilliant. The world of jazz was waiting for Esperanza.

[@jankymcjangles3817]

Yes, except Steely Dan sucks

[@wiltner]

@ really??

[@19lionkingfan]

She will definitely contribute to healing America, but this country needs more than just her. We need everyone. Together. :)

[@JayBlanche]

I get that lump in my throat, shortness of breath. Eyes well with joyous tears. I love what she does to me. No one else ever did this in my 38 years of loving music.

[@whitltr]

This track is therapy after a long day at the job...loop it a few times on the way home from work and you're guaranteed to feel better. Only genius can get this accomplished while singing about it!

[@shanisesmith5059]

Cool .Whit-It I agree with you... pure genius!

[@EdwardeliyahHamnerBoMF]

Or on the way to work this songs da1

[@catnylia2405]

This song is definitely the one..

[@iminyomommy7889]

she's the Aaliyah of contemporary jazz. just so angelic in every way.

[@19Lqueen17]

Man, Radio Music Society saxophone section is just the best...

[@11thstring43]

Playing bass so skilled and singing so effortless is crazy difficult. She's truly brilliant and groovy hair to bootsy

[@farkyou7]

oh. my goodness. so good. sooooo good. genius status.

[@brokenwing2005]

this song's the one...beauruful song beautufully sung.

[@thomashughes3573]

I must say that the video is fun to watch, too. I should keep this CD in my car and play it the next time I'm in a traffic jam. Maybe people will get out of their cars and start dancing.

[@Jakyle1]

The oldies are great, but I am excited that I finally have an artist from my generation I can share with my kids...

[@ibzillah1761]

The way the sound changes at 2:15 get me teary eyed. It's just such a beautiful sound.

[@Yugvijay]

❣

[@ginaperry8209]

[@MrGmanDan]

This Song needs a LOVE button!! Warm & Fuzzy good feeling listening to this!

[@butterflitosis]

this sooooong’s the oneeeee🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@AnonVocals]

Thumbs up if this songs the one..

[@PrototypexJ825]

I was nine feet away from her last night in Charlotte. Her and her band was crucial. She funny as hell to and even more beautiful in person.

[@Jj-fr6rj]

She has the flava of a back in the day NYC Village jazz club singer. Wow!

[@donaldbriske3455]

I'm in love. This song IS the one. And all your songs girl. I wish they would play this on the radio. Thank God for bluetooth.

[@DarekHB]

Thank you for giving her the best new artist award. Finally the right person won.

[@TomasMartinoLlamas-xf4xx]

I love Esperanza Spaldings music so so much!! I own almost all of her cd albums. Sadly not many people know of her outside of the jazz musician community. I tell everybody about her music!

[@SHAVAHT]

This Girls is off the chain, I mean..... Such a great Intellect in sound!!!!

[@michaelblount167]

Yeah she's pretty amazing. Lol I kinda love her.

[@Zannnnah]

Thats a HUGE responsiblity your putting on this young womans shoulders!

[@MrGmanDan]

This is the smartest song EVER! Such intelligent song writing! If people are not listening to this there is something wrong with them! Beautiful!

[@kiethsurf9544]

Generally love the groove in most of her songs !!! Really has this repetitive feel in a lot of her tunes, snare hit on 3, bass line on 2&, 3, 4.

[@kerski99]

This... should have millions of views

[@StarBuck1360]

thank you for a great time Esperenza

[@KTBEverlasting]

I just purchased the deluxe edition. It has a movie which is made up of music videos for her songs. Best iTunes purchase I ever made.

[@zeykitty5673]

I'm obsessed with her

[@iisthedude07]

Every time I hear her voice...I feel better about life.

[@keylay9614]

I'll sleep with this song in my ears...

[@NYOlly15]

it like she read my mind! after work, i was tired of the radio so i downloaded this album and listened to it in my car. sadly it was rush hour, but this song came up and i was happy just groovin' and singing it wrong. haha

[@BrontideAether]

This song is brilliant on so many levels... technically & emotionally. What an amazing artist & what an amazing band/team!

[@DJDJRMusic]

She is #class 👌🏾

[@googlesuckscock6538]

This needs so much more publicity... this is the best song I've heard in a very long time

[@40studds]

I was in houston Tx. last sunday and came across this song all of a sudden I was Ok driving back to cali

[@elainewaller-rose9707]

I never saw the video before. What fun! It's every commuter's fantasy. The story is exactly how I got turned on to ES.I started bopping down the freeway and when I got off, I pulled over and started searching for a pen...

[@MaxErBaduScott]

Just heard this song at our University Women's Choir Spring Concert and fell in love!!!!!!!

[@ginaperry8209]

THIS song is the ONE!

[@sailormann8423]

I'm a retired drummer who loves mathematics as much as he loves music, because they are really both one, and the same thing. My love for math led me to discover your music. Now I am in love with you. You go girl!

[@carlodeglinnocenti5994]

Fantasticoooooooooooo!!!!!!! Eperanza è FAntasticooooooooooo !! Bravissimi tutti , video e brano meravigliosi! ti ho visto a Lucca nel 2016 non lo scorderò mai

[@ahmeddirar4692]

THIS IS GOLD!!!! brightened the hell outta my day!!!

[@Ralphowitz]

Wenn Sie dies lesen, haben Sie einen exzellenten Musikgeschmack. Keep it up!

[@redboneshoneypot]

I adore her. She's a breath of fresh air.

[@omarbaylis5320]

Happy 4 th. Of Julius, Goddess I love you too much! Ps your hair is wonderful baby. See you soon.

[@LawrenceUdeigwe]

@JayBlanche lol I wasn't surprised. I actually grew up in the UK and lived in France, but now live in America; That was why I immediately recognized the vehicles were not American. I knew the plates were neither French nor English, that was why I asked. But someone here says the video was shot in spain. btw who doesn't like efficient cars?

[@streetpictures]

THIS song's the one!

[@idaho_girl]

This song is great on many levels. The lyrics are great but listen for the point and counterpoint between the voice, rhythm section, horns, and of course the bass. The blending of styles is remarkable and worth listening to many times to appreciated what she has pulled together.

[@Hilbertification]

i 'met' Esperanza just a few day's ago at youtube, but i already bought her cd's. Swinging, musical, grooving (my style, ooh yeah) sound great and is just nice to listen too.

[@LukeDallert]

Heard the song like 1000 times and still I want to dance. What a girl! :D Moving like Michael Jackson, a voice that makes me think she is Charlie Parkers' sax and playing bass like Mingus, Chambers and Pastorius. And it all works together. Damn!

[@ZorroAzulEstudio]

Venite para Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!!!! te queremos mucho!! Gracias, sos la mejor. Te mando un abrazo.

[@alwaysabstract1]

Probably the biggest compliment i've ever seen on tube!

[@JimmyandBunk]

Just discovered her and I'm blown away! Heard this cut on a college radio station (since it's too good for regular radio). Wow, the funky bass line, the complex melody, the beautiful vocals... sign me up! Can't wait to hear the whole record and see her live!

[@rhorlen]

Love me some Esperanza. She's crazy talented. She's gorgeous. Just lovely all around.

[@etiennesevin2854]

10 years already 🥲 and still fresh.

[@minukarodrigo]

Omg time flies so fast!!!! Still better than anything on the radio now

[@ghettoblacktheater]

This song, this song is so, so wonderful. This is a cross between Weather Report and Manhattan Transfer. Great song by a great artist.

[@charlesh3823]

Saw her at Yoshi's Oakland in 2008, after stumbling on either on npr or KZbin in a search bass musicians. Whatta find! Solid Gold!

[@jayworld4751]

how haven’t this song gone viral? I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!! FAVORITE SONG EVER😁

[@tomwauch3963]

Fantastic....and the little boy in the car wears a "St. Pauli" Shirt :-)

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

Esperanza is so amazing!!!!! She's introducing a whole new hip hop generation to jazz.

[@AddSeymourJr]

This woman is SUPER TALENTED! This is a great song from an exemplary CD.

[@JayBlanche]

This is in perfect harmony with the call to prayer in Doha today. She is an angel

[@Anoush23]

[@Queenintheblack]

[@true2life73]

Sadly this wonderful song never gets played on the radio. However, it's not junk, so it doesn't fit their standards.

[@ZebraHumor]

I am here after hearing it on the radio

[@lanettetaylor5275]

Peace and Love to all the black women of music.!!

[@drummiedan]

Fresh as a daisy and as beautiful as a rose...The music is wonderful...

[@jsamc8420]

A lot of chords and changes wow

[@bassavino]

I'm dying to see the chart. So much going on rhythmically. I just have to let go and let it hit me. Love it.

[@gregoireigert7557]

Esperanza ! I woke up at 5.30 am because I wanted so much to hear this song, The Song ! What a groove ! I love love love love it ! Thank you so much Esperanza !

[@telliamdumas2439]

que c'est bon, ce morceaux est un petit bijou, groovy, je kiffe, tu te lève le matin avec ce morceau, tu as la pêche toute la journée, good vibes

[@LawrenceUdeigwe]

Where was this video done? Somewhere in Europe? The cars on the road do not look like cars in the US.

[@reason18]

Just saw Ms. Spalding perform live in Toronto.... my mind was blown. Her live show, it's like I've never heard music before. I was in awe.

[@YouriBotterman]

Heavy smooth groovy sound...whaooooooo...what a creativity.....Respect

[@omarbaylis3983]

Esperanza baby I love you !
