Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio shared an instrumental rendition of George Michael’s “Careless Whisper.” The cover will appear on the Seattle-based soul-jazz outfit’s forthcoming album, I Told You So, due out on January 29th via Colemine Records.
DLO3 — multi-instrumentalist Delvon Lamar, guitarist Jimmy James and drummer Dan Weiss — announced I Told You So in November and shared the single “Call Your Mom” followed by “Fo Sho.”
Live For Live Music premiered “Careless Whisper” — featured on Wham!’s 1984 album Make It Big — and praised the track saying, “Delvon Lamarr and company stick closely to the song’s trademark melodic makeup, with hints of soulful, even sexual undertones courtesy of [Jimmy] James’ lofi-inspired lead guitar lines which play overtop the dreamy foundation of Lamarr’s 60s-era organ.”
