David May & B. Howard Remixed Michael Jackson “Liberian Girl”
35 years on from its original release Liberian Girl the 9th and final single to drop from Michael Jackson’s seminal Bad album has been given a sultry reworking for the 21st century thanks to multi-platinum producers, songwriters, and artists B. Howard and David May.
Released on May’s GETREEL33 imprint, this Afro House edit of the pair’s recent take on the single is drenched in thundering, throbbing, tropical-style house heat that gives Jackson’s iconic song a modern, dance-floor-friendly twist. On topline duties, B. Howard infuses warm tones of soul and R’n’B into his naturally-leaning pop instincts, while David May delivers energy and drive from deep, reverberating basslines, undulating percussion and glistening synths and FX, used to underpin and update instantly recognizable samples from the original track. The remix of “Liberian Girl” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
