Anchored by the dynamic drumming of Forrest Robinson, the track preserves the emotional weight of the original while layering in fresh textures: Imani-Grace’s heartfelt vocals, Gerald Albright’s velvety saxophone solo, and a sweeping string arrangement from John Clayton. At the production helm, multi–Grammy Award-winner Ralph Johnson of Earth, Wind & Fire infuses decades of mastery, honoring funk and R&B traditions while pushing them forward.

Produced alongside Earth, Wind & Fire’s Ralph Johnson, the project features lush arrangements, blazing horn lines, and groove-driven foundations—a spiritual continuation of Black American musical legacy that Robinson calls an “apostolic succession.” Backed by Executive Producer Lindsey Nelson and a world-class ensemble—including Tak Nakazawa, Isha Love, Robin Bramlett, David Leach, Michael Angel Alvarado, and powerhouse vocalists Lauren Evans, Imani-Grace, Mabvuto, and Frank McComb—Funk Asylum delivers a high-voltage celebration of heritage, crafted with reverence, intention, and cultural clarity.
