One of our favorite soul singers here at Nostalgia King returns with yet another gem of an R&B double-sider that gears us up and ready for the summer weather ahead. We’ve been review Johnny Burgos records here since 2017 when we first got hipped to his “Wild About You” remix featuring Liza Coby and produced by Marco Polo and we’ve been hooked ever since. Burgos delivers a timeless sense of both vocal style and backing production that keeps us in tune and a calm state while in a world seems to be in chaos.
The Brooklyn – born singer, songwriter, producer & engineer comes correct with a double burner of “Hit Me Like” b/w “Get Back” to light up our ears and let us know that the there’s still meaningful soul still being created in present day that will stand the test of time and be appreciated tomorrow. Burgos embodies a raw uncompromising sound revealing beauty from pain, hope from despair, and the will to keep fighting. Influenced by his uncle and world-class percussionist, Andre Martinez, growing up Johnny developed a fascination with the percussive rhythms of salsa and soul music, eventually manifesting into a devoted passion
for hip-hop production using an Akai MPC.
