Jewale Indigo Releases Flamboyant Re-imagination of Curtis Mayfield classic ‘Superfly’

From the Hip Hop and R&B songster Jewale Indigo, who brought us the 2022 tracks ”’New Tingz” and “Hello From The Ghetto”, is yet another salient, new single “Superfly” – a striking “Hip Hop” version of the 1972 Curtis Mayfield track from the motion picture ‘Superfly!’ The notable Jewale Indigo’s inspiration for the track was his early life’s appreciation for Funk music, Rhythm & Blues, as well as Soul and the well known actor Ron O’ Neal aka ‘Superfly‘ who provided the original basi for what is now known among the Hip Hop culture as having “Drip”  or Flamboyance.

Ron O’ Neal rose above the daily obstacles and setbacks placed before him to supersede and rise far above the others. Jewale Indigo ingeniously likened himself to this, coming from the inner cities of Flint MI;  aka the MidWest.  His experiences in life, as well as the music industry itself, have led him to the self-evident conclusion that, though there’s a plethora of artists dominating at the moment, ‘they are restricted in their musical abilities which minimizes their genre capabilities.’ Jewale Indigo’s musical abilities ‘far exceed that of his peers‘ – “sink or swim,” as they say. He prefers to view himself as a musical life raft who is capable of sifting through the waters & various art forms of the music industry. Which is what brings us to “Superfly”, a fresh perspective to a classic track re-inventing it with sheer tenacity and authenticity- a true banger.

“Superfly” by Jewale Indigo is a must-listen single that breathes new life into Curtis Mayfield’s classic track. With sheer tenacity and authenticity, Indigo’s hip-hop rendition pays homage to the legendary actor Ron O’Neal, infusing the song with his own unique style. This fresh perspective and undeniable talent make “Superfly” a true banger and an exciting addition to any playlist.
