New Music: Stacy Barthe feat. Common – Live For Today

By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Jan 15, 2015

While she’s preparing for the release of her upcoming album BEcoming, songstress Stacy Barthe has dropped off the beautifully performed gem “Live For Today.”

Featuring Chicago lyricists Common, the single boasts a soulful and encouraging Stacy over a unique mid-tempo building beat. Hosting production by Benny Cassette, the song finds the singer and rapper urging listeners to live in the moment instead of focusing on what’s to come.

Although her album isn’t set to hit shelves via Motown until March 3, snippets of the John Legend and Malay produced project can be heard here.

Take a listen to “Live For Today” below!
