Bernadette Cooper
Summer is here, and amidst of all the chaos, it is our duty to continue giving you vitality and joy through this music.
Welcome to the latest installment of the Yoruba Soul Originals series with “Believe In Us!” by the legendary Bernadette Cooper, produced by Osunlade.
Not like you needed the reminder, but Bernadette Cooper is a singer /songwriter / producer / musician /arranger / diseuse super nova. She is
the original-founding members of the first (and only) R&B all-female band to go platinum, the groundbreaking Klymaxx. She has collaborated with legends such as George Clinton, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, LA Reid and Babyface, Teena Marie, Paula Abdul, Rod Temperton, Salt & Pepa,
Lenny Kravitz , amongst others. She’s also the brainchild of the avant- pop/R&B group Madame X. Also, she STILL looks good.
2020 has seen an explosion of new music from Yoruba Records head Osunlade. Not only has he released multiple albums (with a few more
surprises coming up), he has still found time to do interviews, perform with Kahlil El’Zabar for a Boiler Room fund raiser, as well as producing
songs for other artists such as this gem.
On this particular song, the diva herself offers her potential partner a world of ecstasy and pleasure, but also of love. All she needs is faith from
her opposite that it can work out, and she will give all that she has. It is a call to take an adventure of love and lust, a fulfillment and climax of only
our highest frequencies. Osunlade’s effortless groove, with its mellow guitar swing is the perfect soundtrack for taking a chance in these upcoming
hot summer evenings.
“Believe In Us!” follows the ethos of previous Yoruba Soul Originals: timeless, futuristic, present. Just believe!
