about
Debuting the first record from her forthcoming album 'Black Girl Magic', Honey Dijon makes a triumphant return to Classic Music Company with her latest single 'Not About You'. Teaming up with emerging Atlanta talent, singer/songwriter Hadiya George, this aptly timed ode to our human ability to be selfless illustrates Honey's dedication to absorbing, living and breathing dance music's origins, while exploring a new sound that offsets the darker, tougher elements of her catalogue. As Hadiya's lovelorn vocal narrates, "why you always got to play the fool, that's why I wrote this song for you," the flawless production forms the backdrop, weaving deep grooves and rhythms with fluttering, melodic keys and Honey's signature dancefloor-ready flare. Steeped in the sounds of the Chicago nightclubs Honey grew up in, this empowered, glossy house cut is an inspired preview of what is to come on this anticipated LP.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37

Everything Octo Octa releases is just delicious. This EP is especially important as part of the profits are going to SRLP. In an increasingly anti-trans context, uplifting and supporting trans-led orgs is of utmost importance. And you can do so by listening to great music and supporting an amazing artist! éloi

My whole body agrees with the pace of this short but solid track list. A generous helping of acoustic rhythm samples ignited by breakbeats add extra attention to full range movement on the dancefloor. Not a beat wasted. cherub420
