Bassist Dezron Douglas and harpist Brandee Younger will release their debut album as a duo, Force Majeure, this Friday on International Anthem. Today, they present new single, “You Make Me Feel Brand New,” a cover of The Stylistics’ classic, written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed. It follows previous singles, the pair’s “warm and inviting” (Stereogum) cover of Pharoah Sanders & Leon Thomas’ “The Creator Has A Master Plan,” and “Sing,” which was originally written byJoe Raposo for Sesame Street.
Douglas & Younger’s rendition of “You Make Me Feel Brand New” opens with light, magnetic flutters from Younger’s harp and strolling plucks on Douglas’ bass. Complementing each other, the two instruments create a drifting, blissful piece.

A comforting album that cathartically encapsulates an all-too-familiar human experience of 2020, Force Majeure features 11 pieces performed by Douglas and Younger across a series of live-streamed shows from their living room in Harlem, NY, all self-recorded by the duo using just a single microphone.
Douglas and Younger will celebrate the release of Force Majeure with a livestream set on Friday, December 18th at 11am EST via International Anthem’s Bandcamp page.
