Tasha LaRae, the soulful powerhouse known for her work as the vocalist with 2x Grammy-winning group Arrested Development, is back with a bang, dropping the first single from her upcoming 2025 solo album. And this one’s a serious heat check. Teaming up with the legendary Thommy Davis of Quantize, Recordings she’s reimagining the iconic ‘The Real Thing’ 1977 disco jewel, originally penned by none other than Stevie Wonder and made famous by Sergio Mendes & The New Brazil.
Tasha and Thommy paying homage and equally flip the script, bringing fresh vibes to old favourite for today’s dance floors. With Thommy’s expert production alongside top cohorts DJ Spen, Gary Hudgins, and Michele Chiaverini laying down top-tier musicianship, 'The Real Thing' comes packing a funky bassline, smooth keys, and a show-stopping vibes solo that’ll make you hit repeat. At the heart of it all is Tasha’s warm vocal delivery, her voice dripping with soul as she carries the track with effortless grace. This is a remake done just right and should get the thumbs up from classic soulful lovers and modern-day dance floor junkies alike.
