Press Play to hear “Lady Dujour” from Johnny Gill’s album Let’s Get the Mood Right (released October 8, 1996).

MORE CONTEXT:

• Ending in “Suddenly” echoes Maxwell (“Urban Hang Suite Theme“) and Luther Vandross (“Creepin’“).
• Park Hyo Shin’s earlier singing style is reminiscent of Michael Bolton (see: “Things I Can’t Do For You“) and Michael McDonald (see: “Hey You, Come On“).
