Who knew George Michael's 1984 heartbreak anthem could get even steamier? Enter Darrell Kelley, the Boston-born singer-songwriter-activist-entrepreneur extraordinaire, who's dropped a killer cover of "Careless Whisper". Mixing his gospel grit with R&B flair, Kelley turns the classic into a sultry sermon on regret—complete with that killer sax riff!
Kelley's no stranger to shaking things up. From tackling social injustices in hits like "Because of You" and "Get Wild," to holiday vibes in "It's Christmas," this guy's got range for days. His "Careless Whisper" amps up the intimacy with stripped-back beats and vocal fireworks, making it feel like a fresh confession rather than a dusty replay. Critics are buzzing: It's a "soulful reimagining" that's got warmth, control, and zero apologies!
Backed by Mia Mind Music's promo blitz, this track's hitting airwaves and playlists hard. Stream it now on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube—heck, follow Kelley on Insta (@darrellkelleyofficial) for more magic.
