The Stylistics have released a new single, 'Yes, I Will', featuring Shania Twain ahead of their upcoming album, Falling In Love With My Girl.
Legendary Philadelphia R&B group The Stylistics have released a Valentine’s Day single with the iconic Shania Twain.
‘Yes, I Will’ was written by Twain, and is the lead single from The Stylistics' first album in nearly twenty years - Falling In Love With My Girl. The album is set to release on February 21.
“I’m not known for making soul records but soul has always been a big influence for me musically,” said Twain. “I’m so in awe of The Stylistics for their natural talent and effortless delivery.”
“I fell in love with Shania Twain the first time I heard ‘You’re Still the One’ - a great song that I still love,” said Airrion Love, one of three Stylistics members. “When we heard there might be a chance to do something with her we said “Hell yeah!””
