Remix phenom DJ Soulchild is back with his latest bop, adding his talents to Anthony Hamilton’s “Best Of Me.” The song initially appeared on Hamilton’s 2011 album Back to Love. Best Of Me is a heartfelt ballad about giving one’s all in a romantic relationship. It talks about a deep and profound love where Hamilton is willing to give his best and go above and beyond for his partner.
The lyrics express a desire to be a better person, constantly improve, and grow to provide the utmost love and care. Simply put, the song signifies the commitment and dedication one can have for one’s significant other, showcasing the depth of emotions and efforts they are willing to invest in the relationship.
DJ Soulchild changes up the tempo, creating something for the dance floor. The grove is infectious, with Soulchild creating a vibe that could quickly become a staple at weddings for a line dance featuring the wedding party.
Many people draw parallels between love and dancing, where the individual relinquishes control of the rhythm of the music. DJ Soulchild has transformed a romantic ballad into an infectious groove, urging his audience to get up and move their bodies on the dance floor.

This week’s Second Listen Sunday pick takes us back to 2006 to revisit “So Amazin’,” the third album from Christina Milian. Arriving in stores on April 19 of that year, the project was produced largely by Cool & Dre, sans one song, and saw the singer earn writing credits on nine of the album’s songs.
For this week’s Slow Jam Saturday, I want to showcase love for Rahsaan Patterson and his album track “Can We Wait a Minute” from his self-titled debut album, released in 1997.
For this week’s Second Listen Sunday, I wanted to take a trip back to 2000 and show some love to the R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo and their third album, “X,” which was released in stores on December 5, just in time for a holiday stocking stuffer. Arguably, the group suffered from the sophomore slump with their second album, as only two singles were successful.
