Song of the Day #1974

Song of the Day: Big Energy is credited not only to the team that gave us “Genius of Love” and to Mariah Carey (who recorded “Fantasy“, featured yesterday), but also to the singer who recorded it, Latto. Released in September 2021, it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop chart. Check out the original music video (below) and a remix version with Mariah and DJ Khaled [YouTube  links]. From “Genius of Love” to “Fantasy” to today’s song, we conclude another exercise in tracing the art of sampling.
