New Song: John Legend, Melanie Fiona, Common & The Roots – ‘Wake Up’

The entire team did a good job. While they did not outshine the original, the inclusion of Fiona’s fluid vocals and Common’s energy was certainly welcomed. If only music like this was able to find it’s way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 instead of the filth that has become the norm.
