After 35 years since its debut, Liberian Girl—the 9th and final single from Michael Jackson’s iconic ‘Bad’ album—has received an exciting reimagining for the modern era by accomplished producers and artists B. Howard and David May.
This new Afro House edit, released under May’s GETREEL33 label, is infused with powerful tropical house beats, offering a fresh and vibrant twist to Jackson’s renowned track. B. Howard’s soaring vocals lend rich warmth of soul and R’n’B while David May complements with dynamic basslines, lively percussion, and sparkling synths, all updating familiar samples from the original.
Both B. Howard and David May boast impressive music careers with extensive backgrounds in the industry. David May, a classically trained musician, mix engineer, and producer, has established a name for himself crafting hits not only for his projects but also for top artists such as Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, Zedd, Bruno Mars, Akon, and Keri Hilson. Meanwhile, B. Howard, the son of celebrated R’n’B artist Miki Howard, has made his mark by producing, writing, and performing on numerous multi-platinum singles that have charted on the US Billboard Top 20. His collaborations include renowned artists like Ginuwine, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Vanessa Hudgens. Together, they present a remarkable reinterpretation of a Michael Jackson classic that promises to endure and resonate for years to come.
