Midón spoke about the track, which is premiering below on Billboard, and expanded on its ideas.
"The recording of this song sums up most of my influences,” he said. “Latin and jazz sounds, call and response, exuberant improvisation, and it builds all the way to the end!”
If You Really Want follows Midón's previous record, Badass and Blind, and is due out Sept. 14 via Artistry music, a Mack Ave Records label. Presale for the album is available here.
