Whaaaatttt!!!
The-Dream has put on his Santa cap this year and surprised us with a totally unexpected new project. Not just new music, but the Grammy Award winner has released a full project of Sam Cooke covers titled IAMSAM.
Dream said the project was recorded during Beyoncé’s 4 album sessions in 2010, and was inspired by his late mother, who passed away 23 years ago.
“My Mother loved a lot of artists growing up, but the one we shared the most interest in together was Sam Cooke, so Tonight I give him back to her,” said Dream. “These songs were originally recording during the making of @beyonce’s 4 album in 2010 w my good Friend Pat Thrall. My mother passed on the 23rd day of December in 1992.”
The soulful eight-song set includes covers of Cooke classics like “A Change Is Gonna Come,” “Twistin’ the Night Away,” “Cupid,” and “You Send Me.”
