Thirty-five years after its original release, "Liberian Girl," the ninth single from Michael Jackson’s Bad album, is reborn through a fresh rework by B. Howard and David May. This version transforms the track into Afro House, pulling it into the rhythms of today while keeping its core intact.
B. Howard’s rich vocals flow across the production, merging R’n’B depth with his instinct for catchy pop melodies. David May’s production pulses with thick basslines, layered percussion, and shimmering synths. They lace Jackson’s original sound with tropical warmth, creating a mix that’s both reminiscent and forward-thinking.
Both B. Howard and David May come to the table with impressive histories. Howard, son of R’n’B legend Miki Howard, has collaborated with heavyweights like Ne-Yo and Trey Songz. May, a skilled producer, boasts work with artists such as Snoop Dogg and Bruno Mars. Their combined expertise delivers a refreshed take on this iconic track, making it distinctly their own.
