The new single – a romantic duet that interpolates Divine Brown’s sensual vocals
with Gyptian’s world-famous melody – will be featured on Divine Brown’s upcoming album,
which is due for release in 2013 by Universal Music Group.
The duet version of “Beautiful Lady”
reflects McGregor’s
newfound pop culture affinities – adding Canada’s favorite R&B songstress
to the bubbly character of Gyptian’s
melody, energized by a cheery, beachfront roots riddim.
“Beautiful Lady”
is a feel-good song,” said McGregor. “Divine Brown makes the song even more
romantic, and the riddim takes the song to another level. It captures the
feel-good vibe of the original, but the new beat has a pop feel that makes the
song even more mainstream. It’s more commercial and radio friendly.”
Divine Brown
said “Beautiful Lady” represents one of her
favorite songwriting themes. She said the song will have a sensual appeal among
reggae fans, because of the spur-of-the-moment romance motif in the song’s
lyrics.
“I want people to feel sexy when they hear
‘Beautiful Lady’ – it's such a sensual track about love at first sight,” said
Divine Brown. "Love songs are one of the most universal themes in music.
Everyone has fallen in love. I tend to draw from personal experiences when I
write love songs. The process is relaxing and fun."
Born in Toronto, Canada, Divine Brown is a four-time Juno
Award nominee (Canada’s equivalent of the Grammy
Awards), and she won the Juno Award for “R&B Soul Recording of the
Year” in 2009. Her singles have been featured on the Billboard Dance Club Play
Chart and the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Chart.
