“I just love Damon’s vibe and musical approach. Making a guest vocal appearance on his outstanding “Invite The Light” on the high vibrations of “Virtuous Progression” from 2015 was special, I became a fan of his music with his heralded Stones Throw debut album ‘Toeachizown’ – he is the king of modern funk with timeless music sensibilities. On top of that he has a genuine deep respect for the music and funk genre.He’s a bit of a historian of R&B/Funk music as well. Furthermore, Damon and I both share a strong belief in staying true to yourself as well as self-belief as artists. Being authentic – never giving up that’s what EVERLASTING is all about. Having a DāM-FunK remix to conclude the trilogy made perfect sense, it’s the icing on the cake.” – Jody Watley
