DIJON SHARES COVER OF CHAKA KHAN’S “sweet thing”

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT GETTING MARRIED? AVAILABLE HERE

Today, LA-based artist Dijon shares a cover of Chaka Khan’s 1975 hit “sweet thing.” Accompanied by a wistful self-recorded visual, Dijon‘s reimagining of the classic song is now available across all major streaming services and captures the soothing essence of the original.

Speaking on his choice of covering “sweet thing,” Dijon says: “The song was made during lockdown and is joyful and reminds me of being a kid. Just a nod to the music that shaped my sensibilities; regardless of however my musical output presents itself, it’s always rooted here.”

The release of his “sweet thing” cover comes on the heels of Dijon‘s critically-acclaimed EP, How Do You Feel About Getting Married?, and the recently-released videos for “dance song” and “Jesse,” which continue to build on the striking visual world Dijon established with the Jack Karazewski-directed visuals for “do you light up?” and “rock n roll.” Dijon also revealed his collaboration with Charli XCX entitled “pink diamonds” from her new album How I’m Feeling Now. How Do You Feel About Getting Married? builds from the Americana-tinged, R&B palate Dijon introduced on his debut EP Sci Fi 1, and NPR declared the project “a new peak in cerebral, soul-slicing honesty.”
